One of my very favorite restaurants serves a dessert that I affectionately refer to as:
"Strawberry Deliciousness"
A few weekends ago, my dear friend Isabell and I decided to attempt our own Strawberry Deliciousness.
And yes... it was delicious!
And yes... it was delicious!
Here is how we did it...

Add Ricotta Cheese and beat on low just to combine.
Cake Preparation
Ingredients

One Bottle of Italian Almond Syrup
Directions
Slice the cake horizontally into thin layers.
Dip the largest in circumference layer into the almond syrup.
Place on cake stand.
Spread a layer of Ricotta filing on the cake layer.
Fill in the hole with ricotta filing.
Repeat with all layers and filing.
Save enough filling to apply a thin layer over the cake.
Once each layer is complete, spread a thin layer of filing over the entire cake.
Whipped Cream

Final Touches
Pipe a decorative pattern starting from the top center and around the base.
Arrange thinly sliced strawberries between the decorative lines.
Place one large full strawberry atop and pipe a decorative ring.
Then, ENJOY your final product!!!
Happy Baking!!!
