The ricotta mixture and berry mixture may both be prepared hours in advance and layered just before serving. Use a mild-flavored honey, such as orange blossom, for the best flavor. Don't be tempted to use a blender or food processor for the ricotta mixture; doing so will liquefy the ricotta. Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey |
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange rind |
12 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese |
1 1/2 cups halved small strawberries |
1 1/2 cups raspberries |
1 1/2 cups blackberries |
1/4 cup fresh orange juice |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint |
mint sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place honey, rind, and ricotta in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk to combine. Cover and chill.
2. Combine berries, juice, sugar, and sliced mint, tossing gently to coat. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes; cover and chill. Spoon 1/3 cup berry mixture into each of 6 parfait glasses or small bowls; top each serving with about 1/4 cup ricotta mixture. Divide remaining fruit mixture evenly among servings. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
