Ingredients:

• 1 pound strawberries
• 1 large lemon
• ¹/₃ cup plus 2 tablespoons Astor Apiaries Clover Blossom Raw Honey, divided
• 2 sprigs thyme
• 1 pound fresh ricotta
• 4 ounces graham crackers, or another cookie (see Author Notes)
• Kosher salt, to taste

 

Directions:

• Cut the stems off the strawberries. Slice the strawberries into quarters and place them in a large heatproof bowl.
• Use a vegetable peeler to remove 2 strips of lemon peel. Now halve the lemon and juice it into a glass.
• Combine the ⅓ cup of honey, thyme sprigs, 2 lemon peel strips, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the mixture for 1 minute, then pour the infused honey over the strawberries. Mix to combine.
• Add the ricotta, remaining 2 tablespoons of honey, and a pinch of salt to another bowl. Using a whisk or electric mixer, whip the ricotta until the mixture becomes visibly lighter and fluffier, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
• Divide half of the whipped ricotta between three to four serving glasses, then roughly crumble cookies on top. Top with the remaining ricotta, then finish it off with the syrupy strawberries. Serve right away.
