Ricotta Bread
Ricotta Bread is so amazing and its also very easy to make. Loaded with sweet cherries, lots of coconut for a fun, tropical twist. The Ricotta Bread is topped with a lemony glaze for a refreshing finish. The bread is so moist and perfect, with a tender crumb, that just melts in your mouth. Really, with just a few ingredients you can make this beauty and have something on hand for a delightful coffee or tea pairing. I added cherries since they are in season now, but you can switch them for blueberries or blackberries.
If you want to make a raspberry version, that will probably look adorably pink. Make sure you use fresh raspberries, because the frozen ones will add way too much moisture. If you want to use frozen cherries (like I did), or frozen blueberries, make sure you thaw them in advance and drain all the water. I left mine in a colander for a few hours and after that used paper towels to drain any leftover water excess. The ricotta bread is pretty moist, soft and tender by itself, so you don’t need the fruit to add much more moisture.
