Ingredients
  • ½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 - 3 tbls powdered sugar (use 1 to 3 tbsp depending on how sweet you want your filling to be)
  • ¾ tsp lemon juice
  • zest of 1 or 2 lemons - I like two lemon zests for extra tartness
  • ¼ cup cold heavy cream - for ricotta mixture
  • ¼ cup cold heavy cream to fill raspberries and top of dessert cups
  • 1 package TortillaLand flour tortillas
  • extra powdered sugar for dusting
  • fresh raspberries for the top of your dessert cups
Directions
  1. For the Filling
  2. In a mini food processor or blender combine the ricotta, powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest. Blend well.
  3. Whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the ricotta mixture.
  4. For the Flour Flowers
  5. Stack 3 TortillaLand tortillas on a cutting board, use a flower cookie cutter to cut out 5 flowers per dessert cup.
  6. Use a fork to poke six holes in each flower. Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
  7. Lay on paper towels and blot off excess oil. Allow to cool completly
  8. For assembly
  9. Dip the petals of the flowers in powdered sugar.
  10. Put a spoonfull of lemon ricotta mixture on one flower flour tortilla. Place another flower flour tortilla over the lemon ricotta mixture. Repeat until you have 4 layers.
  11. Place a small cluster of lemon zest on the top flower flour tortilla, add a dollop of whipped cream.
  12. Slice a very small piece off the bottom of each raspberry so they will sit evenly on top of your dessert cups. Fill with whip cream and top with a small amount of lemon zest. Place filled raspberry on top of the lemon zest and whipped cream dollop.
  13. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
