½ pound raspberries
3 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ cup amaretto liqueur
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese

LUSCIOUS AMARETTO RICOTTA WITH BERRIES (LOW FAT)

Luscious Amaretto Ricotta With Berries (Low Fat) image

Simple, but delicious, this is all about the ricotta. This is a low fat version of a Bon Appetit recipe that also included cream cheese, but not Amaretto. This ricotta is also good with peaches and crushed Amaretti cookies. Includes 30 minute stand time for the fruit. Each serving (based on two people) contains 3.5 grams of fat, and 1.5 grams of saturated fat (calculated from ingredient labels).

Ingredients

1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
10 strawberries, dehulled and chopped (or sliced)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar (or more)

1/2 tablespoon sugar (or more)
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Combine berries with lemon juice and sugar. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. This will allow a syrup to develop.
