Ingredients

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped (for garnish)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

How to Make Layered 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 lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the creamy cheese mixture on the bottom.
5. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the cheese mixture, followed by half of the remaining cheese mixture and half of the mixed fresh berries.
6. Repeat with another layer of 3 lasagna noodles, the rest of the cheese mixture, and the remaining berries.
7. Top with the final 3 lasagna noodles and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped mint leaves before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your lasagna noodles are completely cooled before assembling to prevent sogginess.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the creamy filling by adding more or less powdered sugar according to your taste.
• For added flavor, consider layering in some lemon curd or a drizzle of berry sauce between the layers.

Easy Variations

• Substitute different types of cheese, like cream cheese or Greek yogurt, for a twist on the filling.
• Experiment with seasonal fruits, such as peaches or cherries, for a unique flavor profile.
• Add a layer of chocolate ganache or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a chocolatey version.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the flavors.
• A side of fresh fruit salad for a light addition.
• A glass of dessert wine or sparkling water to cleanse the palate.
