Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gather ingredients and equipment needed for recipe.

Cut puff pastry sheet into 9 uniform squares. Cut each corner in half towards middle and fold one corner into the middle alternating each corner, forming a pinwheel shape.

When finished, will be golden brown and raised.

While the puff pastry bakes. Whip ½ cup of heavy cream in a stand mixer or by a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside whipped cream. Next combine ricotta, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated and fluffy. Return whipped cream to bowl with ricotta mix and whip for an additional 1-2 minutes. Mixture will be light and fluffy.

With a piping bag or a teaspoon, spoon the ricotta cream into the center of each puff pastry pinwheel. Top with sliced fresh cherries and enjoy.
