(Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin) - Looking for a pretty, summery dessert? These parfaits feature the classic flavors of fresh, fruit pie topped with a decadent-sweet ricotta cream.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (You can substitute other berries)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon orange liqueur or orange juice
- 1 container (16 ounces) BelGioioso Ricotta con Latte® cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter, cubed and melted
Instructions
Gently toss raspberries with 1 tablespoon sugar and orange liqueur in a bowl. Let stand for 30-35 minutes or until the juices have released from berries, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, beat the ricotta, cream, vanilla, and remaining sugar in a large bowl until blended. Combine cracker crumbs and butter in another bowl.
Spoon 2 tablespoons crumbs into each parfait glass. Layer with 2-3 tablespoons of ricotta mixture and 2 tablespoons berries. Repeat layers. Drizzle with juices from berries.
