Marissa's MediterraneanA light, elegant dessert featuring caramelized honey-glazed figs nestled in a cloud of whipped Greek yogurt and ricotta.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, ricotta, vanilla extract, and half of the lemon zest until fluffy and smooth. Chill in the fridge while you prep the figs.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the honey and cinnamon, stirring until it starts to bubble slightly.
Watch the honey closely so it doesn't burn!
Place the figs cut-side down into the honey mixture. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden and caramelized. Flip and cook for 1 more minute.
Spoon a generous dollop of the whipped yogurt mixture into small bowls or onto a platter.
Top with the warm honeyed figs, any remaining glaze from the pan, crushed pistachios, and the rest of the lemon zest. Serve immediately.
If you can't find fresh figs, dried ones soaked in warm water for 10 minutes work beautifully too. Don't skip the lemon zest; it's the secret to making the honey pop!
