Steps:
- For the blueberries: Macerate the blueberries by mixing them together with the sugar and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside while you make the ricotta mix and the bruschetta.
- For the lemon ricotta: Add the ricotta, heavy cream, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Mix until the ricotta is smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- For the crostini: Heat a griddle (or large cast-iron skillet) over medium-high heat. Spread each side of the sliced bread with some butter. Toast the bread on both sides until crisp and golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Allow the bread to cool slightly.
- For serving: To assemble, smear a heaping tablespoon of the lemon-ricotta mixture onto a piece of toasted bread. Top with a tablespoon of the macerated blueberries and garnish with a basil leaf. Transfer the bruschetta to a platter and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Zest the lemon over the platter before serving.

Steps:
- Slice baguette into bite size rounds. Butter each round then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Put pan in oven and turn oven on to broil. WATCH CLOSELY as you just want the butter to melt and a hint of golden sides. Remove from oven and set aside. Mix cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Spread over each baguette round. In a small bowl combine strawberries and powdered sugar. Scoop strawberries on top of baguette rounds and devour!
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm berries. Soft berries will break down when you mix them with the sugar and lemon juice, resulting in a runny sauce.
- Use a variety of berries. This will give your bruschetta a more complex flavor and color.
- Don't overcook the berries. You just want to warm them through and soften them slightly.
- Let the berry mixture cool slightly before adding it to the cream cheese. This will prevent the cream cheese from melting.
- Use a good quality cream cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bruschetta.
- Spread the berry mixture on the bread slices evenly. You don't want some slices to be overloaded with berries while others have hardly any.
- Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. This will give your bruschetta a nice crunch.
- Serve the bruschetta immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Berries and cream bruschetta is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh berries, cream cheese, and toasted bread. The berries are cooked in a simple syrup and then combined with the cream cheese. The mixture is spread on the toasted bread and served immediately.
