Prep Time: 20 minutes (prep and cook time)

Ingredients

1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
3 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 container (16 ounces) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, cut into ribbons


Preparation

Whip ricotta cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl using an electric mixer. Divide mixture into six serving goblets and chill. Combine vinegar and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture lightly coats a spoon. Cool completely. Toss strawberries with balsamic syrup. Evenly divide strawberries into each goblet. Sprinkle basil ribbons on each. Serve immediately.
