Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped, plus sprigs for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

How to Make Raspberry Layered Lasagna

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until well combined.
  4. In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. To assemble, spread a thin layer of the creamy ricotta filling on the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. Place three lasagna noodles on top of the filling.
  6. Spread half of the raspberry mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of the ricotta filling. Repeat the layering process with three more noodles, the remaining raspberry mixture, and another layer of the ricotta filling.
  7. Top with the final three noodles, followed by the remaining ricotta filling. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
  9. Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your whipped cream is at stiff peaks for a light texture in the filling.
  • Let the lasagna sit in the fridge overnight for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best taste; frozen can be used but may alter the consistency.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the raspberries with other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or peaches for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a layer of chocolate ganache between the layers for a chocolate twist.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of ricotta for a tangy flavor and lower fat content.

What to Serve With It

  • A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • A light sparkling wine or fruity rosé for a refreshing pairing.
  • Fresh mint tea for a delightful herbal contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dessert is best enjoyed cold straight from the fridge, as the layers will maintain their structure and flavor.
