If there's anything better than our fresh ricotta, it's this baked ricotta dessert. This foolproof recipe requires just two ingredients: fresh ricotta and fruit preserves. Try topping it with Cambridge-based Bonnie's Jams, available in our Cambridge store, in whatever flavor suits your fancy. Serve this dish warm for a soft, creamy dessert or cold for a cheesecake-like treat (with a lot less sugar!)
