Experiment with other herbs for this easy holiday dessert. A teaspoon of fresh minced rosemary gives this dish a woodsy flavor; and a teaspoon of chopped lavender adds a refreshing floral note.

2 cups strawberries, freshly sliced
1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup Sprite Diet Sprite, or other diet lemon-lime soft drink, divided
1 Tbsp mint leaves, fresh, chopped
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
2 1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 Tbsp fat-free sour cream

Instructions


1. Toss strawberries, blueberries, 2 tablespoons of soda and mint together in a medium bowl; set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine ricotta, remaining 2 tablespoons of soda and lemon zest in another bowl. Whip with a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy; stir in sour cream. Place about 3/4 cup of berry mixture in each of 4 small bowls and top each serving with 1/3 cup of cream.



Notes

This recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
