Berry Honey Ricotta Whip #SundaySupper

Berry Honey Ricotta Whip. Oh so simple yet Oh so delicious. Fresh berries honey and ricotta topped with basil. 

Oh my goodness. Life is busy. My family will tell you that I am not able to sit through watching most shows and definitely can not make it through a movie. I go-go-go and the minute I sit to watch a movie or a show, I am out. I often hear people talking about the great lengths they go through to fall asleep at night. I can not relate. I am not kidding, I am here to tell you that I can’t remember ever not falling asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

The flip side of this story is that I rarely sleep beyond 5:00 am and when I pop up, I don’t stop until I sit down and try to watch a show with the family….zzzzz. This also means that in the middle of my busy days, I look for those moments to stop and enjoy the “now”. Our meals are filled with mostly simple dishes that can be prepared in very little time. But that doesn’t mean that we sacrifice on taste and nutrition. Quite the opposite, to me, the best dishes are those that require very little fussing. Great ingredients come together harmoniously to create the best recipes.

This simple recipe for Berry and Honey Whipped Ricotta Whip is proof that you don’t need a fancy dish to make the family feel special. You don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen to create a showstopping dessert. I love creating little tidbits and enjoying time around the family table. Sometimes the family table is in the kitchen, this time of  year you can find us out on the back lanai and many times it is in the family room as we cheer on our favorite team. Those are the moments when the busyness stops and we enjoy the moment. Those are my favorite moments.

When creating these Berry and Honey Whipped Ricotta Whip, you can use any berries. When you live in Florida, there is a small window in the Spring that you can enjoy local strawberries and blueberries. I love the Spring and couldn’t resist using both of these delicious fruits.
