Balsamic Espresso Glazed Strawberries

It is easy to make a seemingly gourmet sauce for your strawberries...

Toss 2 cups sliced Strawberries with 1 Tablespoon sugar and 1 Tsp instant espresso and also 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (we prefer the 18 year, Traditional balsamic). It is not flavored and adds just the right touch to the strawberries without stealing the show. 

Let the flavors marry for about 30 minutes and serve over ice cream or ricotta cheese mixture. 

Ricotta cheese mixture

Combine powdered sugar, ricotta cheese and mini chocolate chips. Mix well to serve with balsamic strawberries. If you are not serving the ricotta cheese mixture with the balsamic strawberries - you can add some almond extract or vanilla extract for flavor.
