Ingredients

• 5 leaves fresh mint
• 5 fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons light flavored honey
• 20 amaretti cookies
• 20 fresh blackberries
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 1 (8 ounce) container fresh ricotta cheese, well drained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat drained ricotta, cream, powdered sugar, and honey in a stand mixer on low speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Whip on high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in lemon zest. Transfer mixture to a piping bag and refrigerate while you prepare the serving glasses.

Step 2

Place cookies into a resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and crush cookies into chunky crumbs. Set aside 1 tablespoon for garnish. Divide remaining crumbs evenly among five 6-ounce glasses.

Step 3

Pipe ricotta cream into each glass. Sprinkle reserved crumbs over top, then garnish with blackberries, raspberries, mint, and nutmeg. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
