Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for drizzling)

How to Make Berry Lasagna

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4. In another bowl, toss the fresh raspberries and blueberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
5. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
6. Layer three lasagna noodles over the cheese mixture, followed by half of the remaining cheese mixture and half of the berry mixture.
7. Repeat the layers with three more noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, and the remaining berries.
8. Top with the final three lasagna noodles and sprinkle with any remaining mozzarella cheese.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
10. Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with heavy cream if desired, and serve with extra fresh berries on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to cool the lasagna noodles thoroughly before assembling to prevent a soggy base.
• Allow the lasagna to sit for a few minutes after baking; this helps the layers set and makes slicing easier.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your taste by adding more or less sugar to the cheese and berry mixtures.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the berries for your favorite fruits, like sliced strawberries or peaches.
• Add a layer of chocolate spread for a chocolate-berry combo that’s irresistible.
• Experiment by adding a hint of almond extract for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
• A fresh fruit salad to complement the berry flavors.
• A dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
• A cup of coffee or herbal tea for a cozy pairing.
