Hearts of Melopita with Honeyed Crumble & Raspberry

This playful reimagining of the classic Greek melopita (honey-ricotta cake from the island of Sifnos) layers tradition with creativity. A delicate base of honey-sweetened ricotta cake—made with ricotta and fragrant honey—forms the foundation, offering a silky, gently tangy sweetness. Over top, a golden brown sugar–butter crumble adds irresistible texture, its caramel notes balancing the lightness of the cake. A fresh raspberry crowns each portion, bringing a burst of brightness and antioxidants, while heart-shaped accents of ricotta cake add whimsy and celebration.

Wholesome, indulgent and gluten-free, this dessert honors its Greek origins while transforming into something entirely new.
