Ingredients

475 g (1½ cups) Ricotta cheese
30 ml (2 tbsp) candied fruit, chopped
60 ml (¼ cup) sugar
10 ml (2 tsp) orange zest, chopped
60 ml (¼ cup) Marsala wine
250 ml (1 cup) 35% cream
2 containers berries
1 egg white, beaten
Sugar, to taste

Directions

  1. In a bowl, beat the Ricotta, candied fruit, sugar, orange zest and Marsala for 2 minutes.
  2. Whip the cream until stiff.
  3. Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture until blended.
  4. Pour the mixture into dessert dishes and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  5. “Frost” the berries by dabbing them all over with beaten egg white and sifting granulated sugar over them, turning the fruit to coat evenly. Place the frosted berries on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Allow to dry at room temperature for 1 hour.
  7. Garnish the dessert with the frosted berries before serving.
