Blueberries with Whipped Ricotta and Balsamic Syrup

Source: Weight Watchers Momentum Cookbook

Ingredients: serves 4

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese

4 tsp sugar

2 tsp grated orange zest

2 pints blueberries

Orange zest stripes

1. Bring the vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool about five minutes.

2. Meanwhile, puree the ricotta in a mini or regular food processor. Scrape the cheese into a small bowl and stir in the sugar and orange zest.

3. Divide the blueberries evenly among 4 dessert dishes; top evenly with the ricotta mixture. Drizzle evenly with the vinegar and sprinkle with the zest strips.

Note- It is absolutely necessary to puree the ricotta cheese. If not….it’s a little grainy.
