Cooking tip: This recipe works especially well with a silky ricotta such as the Galbani brand. You can modify the sweetness of this recipe by using a plain, unflavored and unsweetened whey protein powder and sweetening to your preference with sugar free maple flavored syrup or your favorite no sugar sweetener. If peaches aren’t in season, you can use an equal weight of frozen unsweetened peaches.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 3 tablespoons (19g) no sugar added vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 large (175g) fresh ripe peach, cut into 12 even pieces
- 4 leaves basil, thinly slice into chiffonade
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
Four skewers are needed for this recipe. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent scorching.
- In a medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer to combine ricotta, protein powder and lemon zest until very well combined and creamy. Refrigerate until needed.
- Lightly oil grill grates and heat over medium flame.
- Arrange 3 pieces of peach on each of 4 skewers. Grill until char marks are forming, about 4 minutes. Flip and grill until marks are visible on the other side, 3-4 minutes more.
- To serve, dollop 1/4 cup whipped ricotta on a small plate, top with one skewer (3 pieces) grilled peaches, and garnish with basil and a pinch of cinnamon. One plate as described is one serving.
