Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta: In a medium mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

    Whip the Mixture: Using an electric mixer (or a whisk), beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.

      Chill the Ricotta: Once whipped, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up slightly.

        Prepare the Berries: While the ricotta chills, wash and slice the berries as necessary. If using strawberries, consider cutting them into quarters for easier serving.

          Assemble the Dish: Spoon the whipped lemon ricotta into serving bowls or glasses. Top generously with the mixed fresh berries.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately for a refreshing dessert or snack.
