- Let the mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the strawberries to soak up the orange juice and sugar.
3. Add Passionfruit:
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp.Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl. Pour the pulp and seeds into the sieve. Gently press the pulp through the sieve to separate it from the seeds. The pulp will fall into the bowl, while the seeds will remain in the sieve.
- Add the passionfruit pulp to the ricotta mixture.
- Gently fold the passionfruit through the ricotta until well combined.
4. Top with Strawberries:
- Using a slotted spoon, place the orange-infused strawberries over the ricotta.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Optionally, garnish with a mint leaf or a light dusting of additional powdered sugar.
6. Serve Immediately:
- Serve the assembled dessert immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.

Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.

- Chill the dessert for 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and provide a refreshing experience.

- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar according to your taste.

- If you prefer a thicker ricotta mixture, reduce the amount of milk slightly.
