Easy Summer Desserts!

It's been another scorcher of a day and I've been running around - went to the salon, picked up some groceries, forgot some groceries so had to go out again, tried to deal with an air conditioner on it's last legs ::le sigh:: prayed to a few gods that said air conditioner will make it through the summer so I don't have to get a new one until the sales start....

Anyhow, the long and the short of it is I didn't want to cook. Period. Full stop.

I bought pre packaged kebabs, grilled them, put em in a bun with some coleslaw on top and bob's yer uncle - dinner.

Dessert, however, is another story. That I made.

But fear not, intrepid readers, I didn't bake and the mess was relatively contained all things being equal. Tonight's dessert was something easy, breezy and literally lemon zesty (not squeezy)













Lemony Vanilla Ricotta CreME over fresh berries

Ingredients

1 tub of ricotta cheese (I used a light omega 3 infused one)
1 tsp good vanilla
4 tsp powdered sugar
1/3 cup of 5% cream
Zest of one lemon

Directions

1.       Put everything but the lemon zest into a bowl and whisk together until smooth.
2.       Zest the lemon and fold the zest into mixture gently
3.       Chill for an hour
4.       Spoon over fresh berries (I’m partial to fresh raspberries and blueberries are always good with lemon)
