It can be prepared start to finish in less than 10 minutes. Fresh strawberries are one of my favorite things about summer.  Whether you pick them from your own back yard garden, find them growing wild, or purchase them from the farmer’s market, this recipe is sure to please both young and old alike.

I love desserts but I’m not a huge fan of cakes, cookies and pies.  They are often very high in both sugar and carbohydrates.  Those watching their sugar or their waistline would probably prefer to snack on something a little bit healthier. To turn this into a dish fit for a patriotic celebration, I added a few blueberries into the dessert to make it red, white, and blue.

If you do not have blueberries, you can either leave them out of the dessert or substitute blackberries instead.  To save time, hull and slice the strawberries ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until it is dessert time. Then, simply pour the fruit into bowls, add the ricotta mixture and sprinkle with almonds.

What’s your favorite way to eat fresh strawberries?
