Ingredients
Scale
- 680 grams / 1.5 lbs whole milk ricotta
- 60 ml / ¼ cup heavy cream (double cream)
- 150 grams / 1 cup raspberries
- 150 grams / 1 cup blueberries
- 150 grams / 1 cup blackberries
- 40 grams / ⅓ cup powdered monk fruit allulose blend (adjust to taste)
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (or 2 tbsps for a stronger lemon flavor)
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine ricotta cheese, heavy cream, lemon zest, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract in a blender. Pulse until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency with balanced sweetness.
- Layering: Meticulously construct dessert layers in transparent serving glasses by alternating smooth ricotta mixture with vibrant mixed berries, creating an elegant visual and textural contrast.
- Finishing: Enhance presentation with optional delicate whipped cream garnish and scattered fresh whole berries. Chill for 30 minutes to solidify texture or serve immediately for a softer, more decadent experience.
Notes
- Blend for Smoothness: Use a high-powered blender to ensure the ricotta mixture is ultra-creamy and free of lumps, creating a luxurious dessert texture.
- Customize Sweetness: Taste and adjust the sweetener gradually, allowing you to control the final flavor intensity to match your personal preference.
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerating the dessert for 30 minutes helps set the layers and intensifies the flavor, transforming the texture from soft to delightfully compact.
- Garnish Strategically: Fresh berries and a light whipped cream topping not only enhance visual appeal but also add a burst of fresh flavor and elegant presentation.
