Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
2. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
3. Add 3 cups of hulled and halved strawberries to the bowl.
4. Gently toss the strawberries until they are well coated with the balsamic mixture.
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the strawberries to release their juices.
1. In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream, and 1/3 cup powdered sugar.
2. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. The mixture should be well incorporated and slightly fluffy.
1. Once the strawberries have marinated, give them a gentle stir.
2. Spoon the balsamic strawberries into individual serving dishes or glasses.
3. Add a dollop of the ricotta cream on top of the strawberries in each dish.
1. Serve the balsamic strawberries with ricotta cream immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries.: For the best flavor, choose strawberries that are in season and fully ripe. This will ensure that they are juicy and sweet, providing a perfect contrast to the tangy balsamic glaze.
- Chill the ricotta cream.: Before serving, let the ricotta cream chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and gives the cream a firmer texture.
- Adjust sweetness to taste.: If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can increase the amount of powdered sugar in the ricotta cream to suit your taste.
- Experiment with garnishes.: Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh basil or mint for a burst of color and an extra layer of flavor. A drizzle of honey over the top can also add a touch of additional sweetness.
With its harmonious blend of flavors and textures, balsamic strawberries with ricotta cream is a dessert that offers both indulgence and a touch of elegance. It's a simple yet extraordinary way to celebrate fresh strawberries, making it a perfect end to any meal. Enjoy this delicious creation and consider it your new go-to dessert for any special occasion.
