Strawberries Balsamic & Ricotta: 3 Ingredient No Bake Dessert

Fresh strawberries, aged balsamic vinegar and ricotta cheese is probably the best and the most simple dessert to make during the summer.

Excluding gelato bought from the ice-cream shop. Just kidding 🙂

Now, you might be thinking, strawberries and ricotta sounds good. But balsamic vinegar??

Yep, NOT a mistake!

As opposed to traditional balsamic vinegar, aged balsamic is sweet, has nutty flavor with pleasant notes of wood from the barrels it aged in.

It has a thick, viscous texture and just perfect level of acidity. Usually between 4 and 6.5%.

But for this particular dessert balsamic with 4% acidity is the ultimate choice.

If you’ve ever tried aged balsamic with strawberries you know they were made to pair.

Now imagine adding soft, creamy ricotta cheese and maybe a crumbled cookie on the top...Mmmm!!

I’ll let you describe your feelings when you try it 🙂

Best part, all it takes is time to wash and cut the strawberries, and another 30 seconds to arrange everything together.

Yes, I am serious, that’s not a recipe in a nutshell.

It's really all that it takes.
