  4. Toast the nuts or granola (optional): Spread on a baking sheet and toast at 175°C (350°F) for 6–8 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Spoon whipped ricotta into each bowl, add macerated citrus, drizzle with honey, and scatter granola or nuts and honeycomb on top.
  6. Serve immediately to maintain texture of honeycomb.

Notes

Whip ricotta ahead and store airtight in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Macerate citrus up to 6 hours in advance.
