Oversize Honey Ricotta Strudel

Oversize Honey Ricotta Strudel

We opted for a creamy honey topping, a thicker version of honey that, unlike liquid honey, contains a crystalline structure that makes it ideal for spreading. Bonus points? The pastry’s 13×9-inch shape allows you to get extravagant with the portions.

  1. This was a really nice, rich and decadent treat. I was a bit intimidated by the puff pastry part but it actually came out really great.

    I used a 13×9 cake pan, so the sides of the pan were too tall. Such that crimping the edges was a bit of a challenge. Fortunately I was able to cut come strips from the left over dough and ‘glued’ them on with the egg and it came out delicious.

    I was also skeptical of the black pepper but it was really wonderful. Bravo!
