Berry Tiramisu

Ingredients:

• 20 to 30 store-bought ladyfingers
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• Zest of one lemon
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup seedless berry jam or jelly
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 3 cups other mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc)
• Juice of one lemon

Preparations:

1. In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries, raspberries and blackberries with the lemon juice to combine. Add 1/4 cup sugar and mix well.
2. Arrange the ladyfingers in an even, single layer in the base of a 9-by-13-inch pan. Save remaining ladyfingers. 
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whipping attachment, whip the cream and milk with 3/4 cup sugar until the mixture forms soft peaks. Add the ricotta, cream cheese, lemon zest, cinnamon, and vanilla extract and whip until medium peaks form.
4. Pour half of the cream mixture over the ladyfinger layer and spread even with a spatula. 
5. Microwave the jam in 30 second increments until it is soft and spreadable. Then, spread the jam on top of the cream in an even layer.
6. Arrange the remaining ladyfingers on top of the jam in an even layer. Top with the remaining cream mixture.
7. Pour the berry mixture in an even layer on top of the cream. Chill at least one hour to soften the ladyfingers before serving.
