Lemon Ricotta Pudding with Berry Compote
This light and refreshing Italian-inspired dessert features creamy ricotta cheese infused with bright lemon zest, topped with a vibrant homemade berry compote. It's a simple yet elegant treat perfect for any occasion.
Let's cook.
In a medium bowl, combine the well-drained ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. If using frozen berries, cook a few minutes longer until thawed and reduced.
Remove the berry compote from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Divide the lemon ricotta pudding evenly among 4 small serving dishes or glasses.
Spoon the warm berry compote over the top of each pudding.
Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes for a cooler dessert.
