A Creamy, Sweet Tribute to Summer
'Disclaimer right off the bat: This is not, nor does it claim to be, an authentic old-time cassata. It’s not my grandmother’s hand-scrawled recipe.
The classic Sicilian cassata is a spongecake layered with creamy sweetened ricotta, a heavenly combination. Elaborately decorated with colorful candied fruits, wrapped in marzipan, true cassata is a sight to behold.
My simple summery version is covered with ripe red strawberries, but any fresh summer berries would be welcome, or slices of nectarine, peach or mango.'
