(Use any berry type fruit you want!)

Fruit Salad with Cannoli Cream
Ingredients
1/3 Cup whole milk ricotta cheese
2 Tbsp. plus 1/3 Cup whipping cream
3 Tbsp. powdered sugar/confectioners sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon
12 oz. fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered (about 2½ cups)
½ pint fresh raspberries (about 1¼ cups) (Blue berries can be used too)
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Kiwi, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
3 Tbsp. sliced almonds, toasted
Preparation
In a medium bowl, stir ricotta and 2 tablespoons of cream to blend. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the remaining 1/3 cup of cream with the powdered sugar and cinnamon until semi-firm peaks form. Fold the ricotta into the whipping cream. (This mixture can be prepared up to four hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
In a medium bowl, mix the strawberries, raspberries/blueberries, sugar and lemon juice to combine. Let stand, tossing occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add the kiwi and toss gently.
Spoon the fruit mixture into four dessert bowls. Place a dollop of ricotta cream atop the fruit, sprinkle with the almonds, and serve. (Cream topping is great to use on cakes, too)
Serves 4

DH and i make a REALLY simple one all the time! we buy an angel food cake mix. mix it up, pour it into the pan... THEN, before you bake it, drop in some berries ( we always use raspberries). then bake it! its sooo good because the berries get all through the cake and it comes out really good! and, angel food cake isn't too bad for ya, either!

Re: Deserts with berries?

What about making crepes and putting fresh berries and homemade whipped creme in them?

Let me know if you'd like the crepe recipe. I have to translate it into English.

Re: Deserts with berries?

this ones really easy:

No-bake cream cheese pie:
1 package of cream cheese (I use low fat...and fat free doesn't work for this recipe)
1 tub of cool whip (or lite cool whip)
Sugar...to taste...I like to add just a little bit, maybe 1/4 cup.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all together and put in pre-made pie crust (graham, chocolate, whatever youd like!) and top the pie with all kinds of fresh berries arranged nicely...sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.

Its very good! You can really do anything with this pie filling...add oreos or other kinds of fruit for ex.
