Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the 2 cups pitted cherries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the cherries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the compote from heat and let it cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 3
Divide the 2 cups ricotta among 4 serving bowls, spreading it evenly.
Step 4
Spoon the cooled cherry compote over the ricotta, dividing it equally.
Step 5
Top each bowl with 1/4 cup of blueberries. Serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes for a colder dessert.
