1 bag (12 ounces) frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Recipe
Place thawed frozen raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice in blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Pour through strainer to remove seeds. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce onto each of 8 plates. Tilt each plate, rotating to spread raspberry sauce over plate.
Arrange 1/4 cup sliced strawberries, 2 tablespoons fresh raspberries and 2 tablespoons fresh blueberries on top of sauce in desired pattern on each plate.
Place cheese, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and vanilla and almond extracts in clean blender or food processor; blend until smooth and satiny. Spoon cheese mixture into pastry bag and pipe onto berries, about 2 tablespoons per serving. (Use star tip to make rosettes or various sizes of writing tips to drizzle mixture over berries.) Before serving, garnish with mint sprigs and edible flowers, such as pansies, violets or nasturtiums, if desired.
