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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, amaretto liqueur, and powdered sugar.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Divide the ricotta mixture evenly into two serving dishes or dessert bowls.
Step 4
Top each serving with an equal portion of fresh mixed berries.
Step 5
Sprinkle the toasted almond slices over the berries for added crunch and flavor.
Step 6
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, if desired, for a touch of elegance.
Step 7
Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours for a firmer texture before serving.
