Essential berry compote with whipped ricotta

Step by Step

Step 1

Halve the blackberries and put in a bowl with the raspberries, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp water. Stir well and leave to stand while preparing the ricotta.

Step 2

Put the ricotta, vanilla and remaining sugar in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, beat the ricotta mixture in a bowl (the consistency won’t be quite as smooth).

Step 3

Divide the ricotta onto 4 serving plates and spread with the back of a spoon. Pile the fruits on top and drizzle with the syrup. Scatter with the crushed digestives to serve. Decorate with a few fresh thyme or mint sprigs too if liked.
