Let's cook.
In a medium bowl, combine the whole milk ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix with a spoon or spatula until well combined and smooth.
Place the amaretti cookies into a zip-top bag and crush them into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass.
Prepare four individual serving glasses or small bowls.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the lemon ricotta mixture into the bottom of each glass.
Sprinkle a layer of crushed amaretti cookies over the ricotta.
Repeat the layers, alternating between the lemon ricotta mixture and the crushed amaretti cookies, until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of cookies on top.
Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
