Whipped Ricotta Verrine
Elegant and easy to prepare, a verrine is an appetiser served from a small glass. We have created a fusion of fresh flavours using Tasmania’s Westhaven fresh ricotta, which is the only fresh ricotta made in Tasmania. The ricotta is whipped to create a silky-smooth base upon which the other ingredients sit ready to be enjoyed by you and your guests.

How do I make it?
