# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm, jammy strawberries and cool, creamy ricotta hits every texture craving at once
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes but looks like something from a fancy brunch spot
  • You can prep the components ahead and assemble when guests arrive
02 -
  • The strawberries continue softening after they leave the oven, so pull them out when they still hold some shape
  • Whipped ricotta keeps in the fridge for two days, but the texture is best freshly whipped
  • Don't skip the flaky salt at the end, it's what makes all the flavors pop
03 -
  • Pat your strawberries dry before tossing them if they're very wet, otherwise they'll steam instead of roast
  • Room temperature ricotta whips up much smoother than cold, so plan accordingly
