How to Make Whipped Ricotta With Honey And Mixed Berries

  1. Combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 4 ounces cream cheese (optional, omit if using fresh ricotta), 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized bowl.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ricotta mixture is slightly set.
  4. In a separate large bowl, gently combine 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  5. Toss gently to coat the berries in the lemon-sugar mixture.
  6. Let the berries sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the juices to release.
  7. Divide the chilled ricotta mixture evenly among 6 wine glasses or small dessert bowls.
  8. Top each serving with the macerated berries.
  9. For an extra special touch (optional): Crush 1/2 cup amaretti cookies and sprinkle on top. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur.
