Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) container fresh ricotta cheese, well drained

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoons light flavored honey

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 20 amaretti cookies

  • 20 fresh blackberries

  • 5 fresh raspberries

  • 5 leaves fresh mint

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Beat drained ricotta, cream, powdered sugar, and honey in a stand mixer on low speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Whip on high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in lemon zest. Transfer mixture to a piping bag and refrigerate while you prepare the serving glasses.

  2. Place cookies into a resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and crush cookies into chunky crumbs. Set aside 1 tablespoon for garnish. Divide remaining crumbs evenly among five 6-ounce glasses.

  3. Pipe ricotta cream into each glass. Sprinkle reserved crumbs over top, then garnish with blackberries, raspberries, mint, and nutmeg. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
