1 lb. whole milk ricotta
2 tbsp. light honey (more to taste)
1-2 tbsp. orange liqueur
Few drops of almond extract
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. freshly pitted dark cherries
1/2 c. shaved semi-sweet chocolate
1/3 c. slivered, toasted almonds

Place the ricotta in a mixing bowl, and whip with an electric mixer at high speed for about 5 minutes. Gradually add the honey and keep beating until it is incorporated. Mix in the liqueur and the extracts. Fold in cherries. Chill, either in individual units or in a serving bowl. Top each serving with shaved or grated chocolate and almonds.
