Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)

Zest of 1 large lemon

Juice of 1 medium lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

    Whip the Mixture: Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overmix; you want a smooth and creamy texture.

      Berry Preparation: While whipping the ricotta, rinse the mixed berries under cold water. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into quarters. Set aside.

        Assemble the Dessert: In serving bowls or glasses, spoon a generous layer of the whipped lemon ricotta. Top with a handful of the mixed fresh berries.

          Finish with Garnish: For a final touch, you can sprinkle a bit of additional powdered sugar over the berries, and if desired, add a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color.

            Serve Immediately: Enjoy this delightful and refreshing dessert right away, or refrigerate briefly if needed.
