  • Decadent layers of cheese and berries.
  • Easy to assemble and bake.
  • Perfect for special occasions or family gatherings.
  • Visually stunning and deliciously satisfying.
  • Can be made ahead of time for convenience.

Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 ½ cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • ½ cup sugar, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Cheesy Berry Lasagna

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, half of the sugar (¼ cup), egg, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the mixed berries with the remaining sugar (¼ cup) and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the cheese.
  5. Spread half of the remaining cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the berry mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of noodles on top.
  6. Spread the remaining cheese mixture on the top layer of noodles, then sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh berries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Let the lasagna cool slightly before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dessert, add more sugar to the berry mixture.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese for unique flavor profiles.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out mixed berries for your favorite fruit, such as peaches or cherries.
  • Add a layer of chocolate ganache for a chocolate-berry combo.
  • Use flavored ricotta or mascarpone for an extra twist, like lemon or almond.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast.
  • A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for added indulgence.
  • A side of fresh fruit to enhance the berry flavor.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. You can also reheat the entire dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
