We’re kicking off the new year with some easy canapé recipes for our DRY January Pairing Party and these Blueberry Ricotta Tartlet Canapés are one of our favorites! We’re also sharing a Gorgonzola, Grape and Honey recipe, a Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Canapé recipe, and a Rosemary Pineapple Mozzarella Canapé recipe that pair perfectly with our handpicked zero-proof cocktails from our pairing party or are just as delicious to serve on their own.

Blueberry Ricotta Tartlet Canapés
The Secret to Serving This Recipe
The secret to serving this Blueberry Ricotta Tartlet Canapé recipe is to use a pre-made phyllo dough to help you save time preparing in the kitchen. We love ATHENS Phyllo Shells because they come fully baked. All you have to do is allow them to thaw, then fill and serve!
How to Serve Blueberry Ricotta Tartlet Canapés
While any traditional serving platter works perfectly to serve these canapés, we love serving them on tiered dessert stands to add visual interest to the overall food display. The stands can feature this recipe alone or several you may be preparing. They can be incorporated into your tablescape design or arranged on a self-service station.
The Perfect Pairing
There’s no doubt, these Blueberry Ricotta Tartlet Canapés taste great on their own, but they also pair perfectly with DRY Botanical Bubbly’s Gatsby’s Garden Zero-Proof Cocktail Recipe. The sour notes of the Gatsby’s Garden are balanced well with a blend of a sweet and slightly acidic flavor and a creamy and mild cheese.
The Gatsby’s Garden is included in DRY Botanical Bubbly’s The Guide to Zero-Proof Cocktails, along with 49 other zero-proof cocktail recipes. It can also be purchased in DRY’s Mixology Gift Set.
