Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ricotta cheese
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Favorite fruit jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or blueberry)
- 100 grams Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Stir until well blended and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest to the ricotta mixture. Mix until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture. Use a spatula and fold carefully to keep the mixture light and airy.
Transfer the ricotta mixture to serving glasses or bowls, dividing it evenly among them.
Spoon the fruit jam over the top of each portion. Using a toothpick or the back of a spoon, gently swirl the jam into the ricotta mixture to create a marbled effect.
Chill the Ricotta Swirl in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves for a vibrant and elegant finish.
Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, swirled delight!
