- 1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt or table salt
- 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen may be used, but do not thaw them first)

- 1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt or table salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold *
- 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
- For the Vanilla Icing:
