Name: Easy Ricotta Dessert Crème
Yield: Serves 1
Ingredients: 1 cup ricotta cheese; 2 tablespoons honey; Finely grated zest of 1 lemon; 2 to 3 drops pure almond extract, to your taste; Fresh berries of your choice

I like to think of this as instant, guilt-free mousse. Honey-and-almond-laced whipped ricotta makes the perfect topping for the berries of your choice. Try layering the berries and the ricotta in a parfait glass for an elegant and easy dessert.
