4 servings
For the cherry compote
- 1 lb fresh sweet cherries, pitted and halved
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tbsp water
For the ricotta cream
- 1 cup (8 oz) fresh whole-milk ricotta

For the oat crumble
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions
- 1
Combine the pitted cherries, 3 tbsp maple syrup, grated ginger, and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cherries soften and release their juices and the liquid reduces to a loose, syrupy consistency, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 20–30 minutes.

While the compote cools, make the oat crumble. Heat coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering. Add the rolled oats, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and salt, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the oats are golden and fragrant, about 4–5 minutes — watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Spread onto a plate to cool completely.
