This charming and whimsical dessert known as Fragomammella (literally “strawberry breasts”) comes from the beloved British cooking show Two Fat Ladies. It’s as fun to serve as it is delicious — creamy ricotta mixed with Campari for a delicate pink hue, studded with sweet strawberries, and shaped into playful “breasts” topped with whole strawberries as “nipples.” It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for Valentine’s Day, dinner parties, or anytime you want to bring a smile to the table. While the name is cheeky, the flavor is sophisticated and surprisingly elegant.
Ingredients
Directions
Set aside 16 of the smallest strawberries and cut the rest into small pieces. Put in a bowl with the lemon juice and caster sugar and leave to soak for 1 hour. Push the ricotta through the smallest sieve of a mouli, add cream and Campari, mix well. Sieve the icing sugar into the mixture to your own taste, put a third of the mixture aside and mix the strawberries into the remaining ricotta.
Prepare pink dessert plates and divide the mixture into 16 breast-shaped molds, 2 for each plate. With a moistened spatula smooth the ricotta over the molds and place a strawberry on the top of each ‘breast’. You can make the molds 3 hours in advance and store in a refrigerator.
