A twist on traditional ravioli, this inventive dessert from Aurora Mazzuchelli combines the gorgeous creaminess of ricotta with tropical pineapple. The coffee caviar, although rather technical to make, adds bursts of punchy flavour which really bring the dish together.

  • 150g of sugar

Remove the slices from the syrup and reserve the syrup. Lay the pineapple slices on a plate and spread them with the sweetened ricotta. Fold the slices over to encase the ricotta like a ravioli
3
Blend the remaining half of the pineapple with 50ml of the reserved syrup and pass through a sieve to obtain some juice
  • 1/2 pineapple, halved
4
Leave the coffee powder to infuse in a bowl with 100ml hot water for about 30 minutes, then decant into another bowl through a fine sieve. Add the alginic acid and blend
5
Add the calcium to the mineral water. Using a pipette, drop the coffee into the water to obtain small balls
  • 500g of mineral water
  • 2.5g of calcium alginate

To finish, pour some of the pineapple juice mixture into 4 soup plates. Place five ravioli on each plate, then add the raisins, pine nuts and coffee caviar. Garnish with micro herbs and edible flowers
