Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Fresh mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons Almonds, sliced and toasted
- 1 sprig Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, amaretto liqueur, and powdered sugar.
Using a hand whisk or rubber spatula, gently stir the mixture until smooth and evenly blended. Do not overmix, as ricotta can release liquid if handled too much.
Divide the ricotta mixture evenly into two serving dishes or dessert bowls.
Top each serving with an equal portion of fresh mixed berries.
Sprinkle the toasted almond slices over the berries for added crunch and flavor.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, if desired, for a touch of elegance.
Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours for a firmer texture before serving.
