Mixed Berry Ricotta Parfait Recipe

Prep: 15 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Get ready for a sweet treat that’s as easy to make as it is delicious. Introducing the Mixed Berry Ricotta Parfait, a light and refreshing dessert perfect for warm weather.

Imagine layers of creamy ricotta cheese, sweet mixed berries, and a hint of honey, all stacked up in a tall glass. It’s a match made in heaven, and it’s ridiculously easy to make.

First, let’s talk about the ricotta mixture. It’s the base of our parfait, and it’s incredibly simple to whip up. Just combine 1 cup of ricotta cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix it all together until it’s smooth and creamy.

Now it’s time to add some color and flavor to our parfait. We’re using a mix of blueberries and strawberries, but feel free to use any combination of berries you like. Simply wash and slice the berries, and set them aside.

Now it’s time to build our parfait. Start by spooning a layer of the ricotta mixture into the bottom of a tall glass. Top that with a layer of mixed berries, followed by another layer of ricotta. Repeat this process until you reach the top of the glass, finishing with a layer of berries.

And that’s it! Your Mixed Berry Ricotta Parfait is ready to devour. The best part? It’s light and refreshing, making it perfect for warm weather.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s incredibly versatile. Want to make it even healthier? Swap out the ricotta for some plain non-fat yogurt. Want to add some crunch? Sprinkle some granola on top of the berries.

And don’t worry, this parfait won’t last long in the fridge. The ricotta mixture will keep for about a week, but it’s best to assemble the parfait just before serving. The berries will start to get mushy and lose their color if they sit for too long.
