    1 T honey
    1/2 t pure vanilla extract
    3 T Balsamic vinegar
    1 1/2 T brown sugar

    Skip the ricotta mix -it's grainy and altogether odd. Top the strawberry/basil/vinegar with Yoplait honey vanilla Greek yogurt. It will blow your mind, and that yogurt has twice the protein of most yogurts plus has no High Fructose Corn Syrup. Don't skip the basil - it really adds something special. - 6/1/10

    This was great, loved the basalmic vinegar and basil with the strawberries. I found the ricotta to be somewhat grainy though and might try it with mascarpone. - 9/16/09

    Reply from CHEF_MEG (9/16/09)
    Commercial ricotta is somewhat grainy because of the stabilizers used in the product. I make my own sometimes and would be happy to share the recipe!

    This recipe sounded good so I doubled the recipe and divided into 11 glass serving dishes for a dinner party. Unfortunately, my guests found the ricotta too grainy and the flavour combinations too strange for their tastes. I ate mine but wouldn't make it again. - 12/15/09

    I liked the ricotta cream very much, but the balsamic sauce was a little strong. I've had balsamic vinegar on strawberries before and wasn't a big fan. Most importantly, as for the GRAINY TEXTURE, I used my stick blender and the texture was very SMOOTH! - 3/3/10

    Yes, the ricotta is very grainy and frankly, pretty bland. I added a tsp or so of splenda to my son's serving and he still wouldn't eat it. I ate it but won't make it this way again. I will try it next time with greek yogurt as suggested, maybe try fat free cream cheese too. - 4/5/10

    If you don't have a food processor, you can use a hand mixer, or even a plain old spoon and bowl to mix the ingredients. Really, sometimes necessity is the moter of invention, or just think of the things we used before all the electric inventions...they still work, only they take a little longer - 12/3/09

    Store had no basil and too early in the season for mine, so regretfully did without it. I did the homemade ricotta, so quick and easy! This was a delightfully refreshing dessert. Very tasty. I'm sure it will be even better with the basil. Be sure you get good Balsamic. Makes a huge difference. - 4/4/11

    This was great with minor modification. I used FF plain Yogurt in place of Ricotta. I used Wishbone Balsamic Vinaigrette and only 2 TBSP. Super yummy and pretty. No one knew it was "healthy" and no one asked. I divide parts & pack separate for my lunch. I get envious gazes and I am not deprived!

    Wow, the strawberry-balsamic-basil blend is incredibly good, and I did not mind the grainy texture of the store-bought ricotta, but look forward to making the home-made ricotta and trying it again. Also think it would go very well with plain or vanilla yogurt. Nice treat. - 6/29/12

    Skip the ricotta mix -it's grainy and altogether odd. Top the strawberry/basil/vinegar with Yoplait honey vanilla Greek yogurt. It will blow your mind, and that yogurt has twice the protein of most yogurts plus has no High Fructose Corn Syrup. Don't skip the basil - it really adds something special. - 6/9/12

    I would definitely substitute calorie free sweetners for the sugar in this recipe and use non fat ricotta. Balsamic has all the sugar in it that I would want for this recipe....but I think with those substitutions, I will give it a try. The basil is a wonderful touch. - 6/9/12

    Use fat-free Greek yogurt instead of ricotta or pre-sweetened yogurt. You can control the amount of sugar. If the strawberries are sweet enouogh, you don't need the sugar at all. I think adding sugar to strawberries does nothing for them - makes them too sweet. - 6/8/12

    I was skeptical at first, especially when I was making the vinegar mixture. However, everything goes together very well. Will be making this again! If you are sensitive to weird textures (like the graininess of the ricotta), I suggest you use your favorite yogurt instead. - 5/9/12

    I had the same issue with graininess of the ricotta. Might try it again either with the yogurt or some marscarpone. Strawberries and balsamic vinegar are good partners! - 5/8/12

    For those who don't like the strongness of the balsamic vinegar, try same recipe using juice of one large lemon. - 5/8/12

    This is so easy to do just for me. DH does not like strawberries so i eat them often. I use cottage cheese the same way. I shuddered at the thought of balsamic which I use on salads. I was surprised this was so good. I whipped up the cream in my magic bullet with the honey1/4 tsp. I used no sugar. - 5/8/12

    sounds great - I will try it with low fat Greek yogurt - and use lavender instead of vanilla as strawberries and lavender go well together - just don;t use much or it tastes like medicine! - 5/8/12

    It doesn't sound very appetizing, to me. Can the Balsamic be left out? - 5/8/12

    I made this with no fat cottage cheese and my emersion blender. I worried about the strong balsamic odor in our kitchen while making it, but this turned out to be a nice treat. Good to keep on hand when you have strawberries up-the-kazoo. - 4/21/12

    I am not sure the accurate sugar count per serving. When I check it out in the recipe calculator ( put it in recipe makeover and then hit calculate) The sugar comes out to 16.9 not 4.6, am I doing something wrong or is the sugar count off. My brother-in-law is a diabetic so it is important to me - 12/25/11
