INGREDIENTS

Almond Crumble

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup cold butter, diced (1/4 inch)

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons bread flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Cherry Filling

4 cups pitted sour cherries

1/2 cup sugar

3 tablespoons flour

2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

Zest of 1/2 lemon

3 tablespoons butter

Whipped Ricotta

1/2 pound ricotta

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

PREPARATION

Almond Crumble

Blend all of the ingredients together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until the mixture becomes crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Cherry Filling

Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except the butter using a rubber spatula. Transfer the cherry mixture to a 10 by 7-inch baking dish. Dot the top of the mixture with the butter. Cover with the almond crumble and bake until golden brown and bubbly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Whipped Ricotta

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the ricotta with the lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until light and smooth. Serve alongside the warm crumble.
