Labor Day: A perfectly simple and delicious dessert recipe

By ,

In my opinion the whole idea of Labor Day is as little “labor” to execute the most fun! So of course that must include food and to be more specific, dessert — Here is something super easy for everyone to enjoy and keep you out of the kitchen and into the fun!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 12 squares)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • Whipped cream, optional

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, walnuts, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in butter; set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Beat in ricotta cheese and lemon juice.
  • Place 1/2 cup blueberries each in four dessert dishes. Top with cream cheese mixture, crumbs and remaining blueberries. Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Refrigerate until serving.
