Steps for Preparing the Creamy Dessert with Ricotta and Strawberries
First, prepare the strawberries. Wash them and cut them into chunks. Place them in a bowl and season with sugar and the juice of a strained lemon. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
Whip the cream, which should be very cold, with the sugar. Add the ricotta and mix gently to avoid deflating it. Collect, using a strainer, the juice created by the strawberries.
In a baking dish, alternate the Pavesini soaked with strawberry juice, the ricotta cream, and the strawberry chunks. Make several layers and refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
Storage
You can store the dessert in the refrigerator for two or three days.
