Notes

Ricotta Kisses are best served warm, right out of the frying pan. For an elegant touch, pair them with fresh berries and honey, serve with whipped cream, or present with lemon zest. To store any leftovers, allow to cool completely before placing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
