Easy Ricotta Dessert Crème

By Lora Brody

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.

Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 to 3 drops pure almond extract, to your taste
