Description
The Lemon-Shell Ricotta Raspberry Whip is a simple yet elegant treat with creamy ricotta, zesty lemon, and sweet raspberries, offering a delightful summer flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons honey or powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Optional: hollowed-out lemon halves for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, bring together the ricotta cheese, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients using a hand mixer or a whisk until the mixture achieves a light and fluffy consistency. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness to your preference, adding more honey if necessary.
- Use a spoon to delicately fill the hollowed lemon halves or dessert cups with the ricotta whip. Top the filled lemon shells with fresh raspberries, ensuring an equal distribution. If desired, add an extra drizzle of honey.
- Allow the dessert to chill in the refrigerator for around 15 minutes. Serve your Lemon-Shell Ricotta Raspberry Whip as a standalone treat or paired with a delicate tea or coffee.
Notes
For best results, use whole milk ricotta as it provides a superior creamy texture. Consider adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if using powdered sugar.
