Forest Delight Recipe
When time permits, both weather-wise and free time, we take a trip to the mountains;
during this period, wild berries are picked, and I find them at a good price, so I buy them with pleasure; also because I go directly to visit the farms and participate in the harvest.
In the Po valley, the cultivation of wild berries, especially blueberries and raspberries, is extensive; the nutrient-rich soil produces special fruits.
Returning home late in the evening, to not lose the freshness of the raspberries, I immediately started cooking them for ten minutes, along with some blueberries…The next day, after work, I got to work!
A quick dessert with ingredients I already had at home; no eggs, no flour, delicious fresh, light!
Ricotta, yogurt, and fruit!

Ingredients
Ricotta, yogurt, wild berries…
- 10.58 oz ricotta
- 10.58 plain yogurt
- 6 sheets gelatin sheets
- 1.54 cups sugar
- 10.58 oz raspberries (And some blueberries)
- 2 packets gelatin powder (Type tortagel)
Tools
Small pots and strainer…A dome-shaped mold
Steps
Cook the fruit with 0.66 cups of sugar for ten minutes; let it cool
Once cooled, pour in the gelatin packets, mix well and bring to a boil for one minute
Remove immediately from the stovetop and pour it into the chosen mold; I preferred a dome, but another shape works fine. Leave in the fridge until use
Blend the ricotta with 1.06 cups of yogurt and the sugar
Heat the remaining yogurt and add the gelatin soaked in cold water, mix well
Strain to avoid any gelatin residue, into the ricotta mixture…Mix very well!
Now pour over the raspberry gelatin and level it well
It will present itself like this, as in the photo; let it rest in the fridge for about six hours
Remove the forest delight from the glass dome and serve with blueberries and a little cocoa.
Store in the fridge, freezing is not recommended; you can serve with crumbled amaretti, to give character to the delight.
