Luscious Amaretto Ricotta With Berries (Low Fat) image

Simple, but delicious, this is all about the ricotta. This is a low fat version of a Bon Appetit recipe that also included cream cheese, but not Amaretto. This ricotta is also good with peaches and crushed Amaretti cookies. Includes 30 minute stand time for the fruit. Each serving (based on two people) contains 3.5 grams of fat, and 1.5 grams of saturated fat (calculated from ingredient labels).

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
10 strawberries, dehulled and chopped (or sliced)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar (or more)
6 ounces low-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 tablespoon sugar (or more)
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 tablespoon Amaretto

Steps:

  • Combine berries with lemon juice and sugar. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. This will allow a syrup to develop.
  • Mix ricotta ingredients together. This may be done in a food processor, if a finer texture is desired.
  • Serve berries over a scoop of the ricotta. Serving it in a martini or other decorative glass makes for a nice presentation.
