Instructions
- Craft a velvety ricotta base by blending ricotta cheese, heavy cream, fragrant lemon zest, powdered sweetener, and pure vanilla extract in a high-powered blender until silky smooth. Taste and fine-tune the sweetness level to your preference.

- Select fresh, firm berries carefully to prevent excess moisture and ensure clean, vibrant layers that hold their shape beautifully.
- Blend ricotta thoroughly to achieve a silky-smooth texture that transforms the entire dessert from ordinary to extraordinary.
- Customize sweetness by tasting and adjusting gradually, allowing your personal preference to shine through the final creation.
- Choose whole milk ricotta as the secret weapon for creating an incredibly creamy, rich base that elevates the entire dessert experience.
