German Fruit and Cream Cake

With the warmer weather approaching, it's nice to have a few recipes on hand where no oven is needed! Who wants a house as hot as it is outside? This is one of my all time favorites for the summer season. I thought I'd share it with you too....

You'll need:

*16 oz. heavy whipping cream

* 1 lb. Ricotta Cheese

* 3/4 cup sugar

*11 oz cream cheese

*1 tsp vanilla

* 3 packages of soft lady fingers

* Fresh fruit

* a spring- lock pan

 

*Combine Ricotta, Cream cheese, vanilla and sugar with electric mixer until smooth. Set aside.

*Beat heavy whipping cream until it turns to whipped cream and then combine with cheese mixture.

*Next, take your lady fingers and "line" the outside rim of the pan along with the bottom(just sort of squish them in there) You should now have a cake bottom and side.

* Put about a third of the cheese mixture in the pan and cover the lady fingers.

*Next, you'll need to make another layer of lady fingers to cover the filling. This is you're middle layer of the cake. 

*Slice strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi and layer them on top of the lady fingers, generously.

*Top with the remainder of cream and cheese mixture and spread smooth.

*Set in fridge for at least 5 hrs. or overnight.

*Add sliced fruit or berries to the top just before serving!
