Method
- Combine ricotta, honey and rinds in a bowl until smooth.
- Lay filo pastry on the bench and sprinkle one half with cinnamon. Fold in half, then cut into 8 even rectangles. Place filo squares in a preheated sandwich press and cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool.
- Top four of the rectangles evenly with ricotta mixture and a layer of strawberries. Finish with a piece of filo and sprinkle with grated chocolate and remaining strawberry slices.
