Here's an easy to make, colorful dish that's an ideal dessert to whip together for the 4th of July, considering the complementary colors. It's a baked treat that features very sweet strawberries, blueberries, and lemon juice, as well as fat-free ricotta cheese. This dessert is perfect to serve at the end of a party any time of year, as guests will love the individual servings in their own soufflé dishes. Gently folding the strawberry purée into the egg whites leads to a fluffy, light texture after baking, so be sure to use a delicate hand. If your strawberries aren’t very sweet, you can substitute 1 cup of puréed fresh raspberries or blackberries and sweeten with a little bit of sugar to taste.
