Perfect dessert when strawberries are at their peak. Ingredients:
1 cup ricotta cheese (about 1/2 of a 15-ounce container) |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
6 cups fresh strawberries, halved |
Directions:
1. For cannoli cream, in a medium bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
2. In a small chilled bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (do not over-beat.)
3. By hand, gently stir the whipped cream and about half of the chocolate pieces into the ricotta mixture. (If desired, mixture can be made up to 2 days ahead; refrigerate, covered.).
4. To serve, divide strawberries among 8 dessert dishes.
5. Spoon cannoli cream over the berries.
6. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate pieces.
