Eat to get more healthy – Dessert! Whoa! Doesn't that sound as if Christmas's come early ? Well I can guarantee that at least the Christmas feel would sure to come thanks to this Dessert. Baked Ricotta with berry sauce is as delectable as it is elegant.
Yield: 4 servings
generous 1 cup ricotta cheese ( part skim /fat free also works. I used part Skim for this one here)
egg whites,beaten ( i skipped this for reasons mentioned in my previous posts)
tbsp honey,plus extra to taste
Method
1.Preheat oven to 350F. Place the ricotta cheese in a bowl and break it with a spoon.
2.Add the beaten egg (if using), honey and vanilla extract and mix till the mixture is smooth.
3. Lightly grease 4 ramekins
4. Spoon the mixture into the ramekins and level the top.
Bake them for 20 min or until ricotta are risen and golden. ( usually if you are skipping out the eggs,it wont rise that much;so wait until it turns golden)
5. Meanwhile to make the berry sauce, place the fruits in a saucepan with little water and heat it gently until softened. If using frozen fruits, you can skip the water.
6. Cool it and strain.
7. Season it with honey if the sauce is too tart. I used about a tablespoon of honey and mixed it with the sauce.
8. Serve the sauce warm/cold, with the Baked Ricotta.
Simple, time saving, uncomplicated and Yes! V.Healthy :)
