Instructions:
Clean and slice your fruit, toss with 1/2 cup of sugar and set aside. Slice Angel food cake into small pieces. Whip cream with Vanilla and remaining sugar, fold in Ricotta cheese, lemon zest and juice. Now you are ready to assemble, alternate layers of starting with the cake, cream and then fruit. Lightly drizzle the orange liquor on the cake layer. Be sure to end with the fruit on top. You can serve immediately or refrigerate.
Make sure the ricotta cheese is fresh and soft. Otherwise stir it for awhile to get creamy. I also use the sugar to sweeten to your taste. You can have store bought Angel Food Cake or make your own.
