Ricotta-Stuffed Jackfruit with Cinnamon
These stuffed jackfruits are sweet and creamy enough to serve as dessert. You can enjoy them right away with a fork-and-knife wrap them individually and freeze, nibbling on them as a frozen treat. Pull them from the freezer a couple of minutes before biting into.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon honey
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 jackfruit pods, seeds removed, tops trimmed
Directions:
Combine the ricotta, honey, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spoon the cream into a piping bag or plastic snack-size zipper-lock bag, cutting the tip off of the corner. Fill each jackfruit pod with the cream. Enjoy immediately or wrap and freeze.
