Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c heavy cream
1 lb whole milk ricotta cheese
8 oz mascarpone cheese
3/4 c granulated sugar
zest of one lemon
2 lb strawberries, cleaned, hulled, cut into quarters
1/4 c balsamic vinegar, or to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Begin by preparing your mousse. Beat cream in a bowl until it reaches the soft peak stage... then stop! Set aside.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, add the lemon zest and 1/2 cup sugar to your ricotta and mascarpone. Whip with mixer until smooth. (Yum!)
  • 3. Next, take the cream you've whipped and begin folding it into the cheese mixture. Take your time and go slowly.
  • 4. You want a smooth texture. When complete, cover and chill for an hour or two.
  • 5. When you're getting near serving time, begin preparing your berries. Place them in a bowl and add in the remaining sugar and all of the vinegar.
  • 6. Toss quickly and serve promptly over your chilled mousse.
