Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 14

9 lasagna or chocolate noodles
1 1/4 c ricotta cheese
1/4 c mascarpone cheese
2/3 c white sugar
1 large egg
1 c all purpose flour
1 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch chili powder
1/2 c melted butter
1 1/2 pt sliced strawberries
1/2 pt each of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 350˚F.
2. Lay 3 cooked lasagna (or chocolate) noodles in the bottom of 9-inch-square glass or metal baking pan you've coated with nonstick spray or buttered.
3. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta and mascarpone cheeses, white sugar, and egg, and beat until almost smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, chili powder, and melted butter. Mix well.
5. Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, being careful not to crush the raspberries.
6. Top the first layer of lasagna noodles with one-third of the berry mixture followed by one-third of the flour-sugar-spice mixture and one third of the cheese-egg-sugar mixture. Repeat, adding two more layers of all three components.
7. Bake for 45 minutes in an oven or over indirect heat in covered barbecue grill, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Remove, cool for 10-15 minutes, and then serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
