Time 1h20m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces fresh ricotta cheese, well drained
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons light flavored honey
1 tablespoon lemon zest
20 amaretti cookies
20 fresh blackberries
5 fresh raspberries
5 leaves fresh mint
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Combine drained ricotta, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and honey in a glass or stainless steel mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients until creamy using the lowest speed of a stand mixer or hand mixer, about 1 minute. Whip on high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in lemon zest. Transfer mixture to a piping bag and place in the refrigerator while you prepare the serving glasses.
  • Put amaretti cookies into a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and crush cookies into crumbs that are chunky and not too fine. Set aside 1 tablespoon of crumbs. Divide remaining crumbs evenly between five 6-ounce glasses.
  • Pipe ricotta cream into each glass. Top with a sprinkle of the reserved cookie crumbs. Garnish each glass with 4 blackberries, 1 raspberry, 1 mint leaf, and a pinch of nutmeg. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
