Galbani® Whipped Ricotta Parfait
INGREDIENTS
| 3 tbsp. | Fresh lemon juice |
| 3 tbsp. | Limoncello |
| 1 tbsp. | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Assorted berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries) |
| 1 cup | Galbani Whole Milk Ricotta |
| 2 tbsp. | Honey (preferably flavored with orange) |
| 2-3 tbsp. | Creamy vanilla yogurt |
| 1 tsp. | Ground cinnamon |
| 1 tbsp. | Limoncello (optional) |
| Garnish | Candied orange segments, mint, chocolate shavings |
METHOD
- In a bowl, add lemon juice, 3 tablespoons limoncello, sugar, and stir to combine. Add berries, stirring carefully so as not to bruise the fruit, and let macerate in fridge for up to 90 minutes.
-
Using a hand-held beater or food processor, combine Ricotta, honey, yogurt, cinnamon, and an optional tablespoon of limoncello, whipping until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for an hour.
-
To assemble as a parfait, place a few generous tablespoons of the whipped Ricotta mixture at the bottom of a chilled glass. Add a layer of the berries, then add more Ricotta until you reach the top of the glass.
-
Add garnishes to the top of the parfait and serve. Makes about 4 parfaits.
