A strawberry dessert that is as beautiful as it tastes. It is cool and creamy with a very unique flavor. Balsamic vinegar and strawberries are a wonderful flavor combination. The balsamic is slightly sweet and tangy with a deep robust flavor. It enhances the natural sweetness of strawberries. Ricotta cheese is sweetened with honey and just a touch of vanilla. Fresh basil sprinkled on top just adds to the freshness of this simple summer dessert. Impressive when served, this could be served at a fancy restaurant. This is a fast, light, and easy dessert that is great for entertaining.
