Bacon Wrapped Strawberries with Whipped Basil Ricotta
What to do with all of those strawberries? Wrap them in bacon, of course! This whipped ricotta is a perfect icing on the cake!
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk could use blender/immersion blender
- Air Fryer or oven
- Toothpicks
- Kitchen knife
- Plastic sandwich bag (optional for piping)
Ingredients
- 6 large Strawberries
- 3 pieces Bacon
- 2 tbsp Ricotta Cheese
- 4 leaves Fresh Basil extra is always appreciated :-)
- 1 tbsp Sweetener I use Monkfruit
Instructions
- Clean and slice tops off of strawberries.
- Slice bacon in half (shorter pieces), and wrap each strawberry with bacon, securing with a toothpick.
- Place on either a baking sheet or in the air fryer, and cook until bacon is crisp. Remove and set aside to cool slightly, so they are touchable.
- In mixing bowl, place ricotta cheese, sweetener, and finely chopped basil. Whip well (could use immersion blender here, but with quantity, I chose by hand).
- If choosing to use, spoon ricotta mixture into plastic bag and snip the very corner tip. Squeeze into the top opening of the bacon swirls.
- Remove toothpicks and serve with additional cheese on the side and fresh basil and strawberries for garnish. Enjoy!
