Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, stir together the 2 cups ricotta, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the 2 cups berries, remaining 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until berries release their juices and the sauce thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the berry sauce from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes; it will continue to thicken as it cools.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the ricotta mixture among 4 serving bowls or glasses.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the warm berry sauce over the ricotta, dividing evenly. Serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes for a colder dessert.
