Berries and “Ricotta” with Slivered Almonds

Tonight’s dessert was quick one from the refrigerator. I had the tofu ricotta left from the white peach dessert a few days ago. This evening I wanted something a little different and decided to put the “ricotta” over fresh strawberries. Any dessert I can have ready in less than 5 minutes is probably one I am going to like.

Comments:

We enjoyed this fruit and “ricotta” as an after dinner snack. The “tofu ricotta” works on many different fresh fruits. I added the nuts for a crunchy textural counterpoint to the soft “ricotta” and berries. The blackberries were more tart than the strawberries so they added a different flavor as well as color contrast.
