Ricotta And Berries With Caramelized Croutons

Plated desserts like this feel so Italian: fresh ricotta, seasonal berries lightly cooked down into a citrus syrup, and crunchy caramelized ciabatta to top it off. It's very elegant, and unsuspectingly easy to pull together. The beauty of it is that all of these elements can be made in advance - season the ricotta and store it in a container, do the same with the berry syrup, and the sweet sugared croutons will stay very crunchy at room temperature in a plastic bag or covered container. Perfect for your next Italian-themed dinner party!
