I am friends with a lot of foodies, chefs and home cooks on Facebook. Every day, I see tons of wonderful dishes on my news feed. Once in a while, a recipe catches my attention and this one was one of them. If you are not into baking, you will love the simplicity of this delicious dessert made with fresh strawberries, chocolate & cannoli cream. Make it and you will wow your loved ones.

Serves 3-4 Level of difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 – 15 oz. container whole-milk ricotta cheese
• 1 capful of vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of cinnamon
• 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 1/4 cup chopped chocolate (I used 70% cocoa)
• 1/2 lb. of sliced strawberries.

Preparation:  

In a medium-sized bowl, blend the ricotta and sugar together with a spoon. Add the vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate. Mix well. Chill in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavor “ripen”. When it’s chilled enough, and almost ready to be served, slice the strawberries and set aside.

Place the cannoli cream in cups or small bowls, arrange the strawberries on top to make a beautiful presentation. Voila! The dessert is ready to be relished. My family loved it, and I hope yours will too.
