Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta whipped in food processor
  • sliced seeded bread or bread of choice toasted
  • choice of fresh fruits figs, grapes, kiwi as pictured
  • pumpkin seeds or alternative seeds
  • nuts or granola optional
  • Butterfly pea syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup dried butterfly pea flowers

Instructions

  • Make ahead the syrup: combine equal parts of sugar and water into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Once the sugar has dissolved add the dried butterfly pea flowers and let that simmer for 10 minutes on low. Remove from heat and strain into a glass jar. Let cool before storing.
  • If using supercolor powder instead, skip the 1st step and add 1 tsp at a time to the whipped ricotta.
  • For a shaded ombre effect, divide the whipped ricotta into separate bowls and mix in varying amounts of the butterfly pea flower.
  • Spread ricotta across toasted bread and top with desired garnishes.
  • Serve immediately!

Notes

**Alternative: substitute the butterfly pea syrup for butterfly pea flower supercolor powder instead.
