White peaches are one of those rare fruits that feel almost too delicate and floral to cook with — and here, they don't need to be cooked at all. A quick toss in maple syrup is all it takes to coax out their natural sweetness before they're layered into chilled cups with a cloud of vanilla-flecked ricotta cream. That cream is the real star: cold heavy cream whipped to soft peaks, then gently folded with fresh ricotta, vanilla bean paste, and just a pinch of sea salt for a texture that's somewhere between mousse and cheesecake filling. Because every ingredient here is carefully chosen, there's no relying on packaged desserts or store-bought creams that can hide problematic additives — you control exactly what goes in. The assembled cups chill for at least 30 minutes, which lets everything set into something that feels genuinely elegant without any complicated technique. A few torn mint leaves scattered on top right before serving add a bright, fresh finish. This recipe makes 4 servings and comes together with minimal effort, making it an easy go-to when you want something that looks impressive but asks very little of you.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2–3 minutes — the cream should hold a gentle curve when the beaters are lifted but not look stiff or grainy.
Add the fresh ricotta, 2 tbsp maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and sea salt to the whipped cream. Beat on low speed until just combined and smooth, about 30 seconds. Do not overmix — the cream should be light and hold its shape.
