Introduction

Berry Bruschetta Toasts are a delightful twist on the classic Italian appetizer, combining sweet fresh berries with creamy ricotta on crisp whole wheat baguette slices. This refreshing and easy-to-make dish is perfect for a light snack, brunch, or entertaining guests.

The image shows small toasts arranged on a round marble board and two small white plates on a white marbled table. Each toast has three layers: the bottom layer is golden-brown toasted bread, the middle layer is thick white cream, and the top layer is a mix of small red strawberry pieces, dark purple grapes, and garnished with green mint leaves. In the background, there is a white colander filled with strawberries, blueberries, and cherries, and a wooden bowl with mixed berries and a colorful floral-handled spoon. To the right is a green and white package of Truvia Sweet Complete granulated sweetener. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener
1 Whole Wheat Baguette
3/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Fresh Strawberry
1/2 cup Fresh Blueberry
1/4 cup Cherry
1/4 cup Fresh Blackberry
1 tablespoon Fresh Mint

Instructions

Step 1: Lightly toast slices of the whole wheat baguette under a broiler or in a toaster oven until they are golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese and 1 tablespoon of Truvia Sweetener until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Refrigerate this whipped ricotta until ready to use.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine the fresh strawberries, blueberries, cherries, blackberries, fresh mint, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Truvia Sweetener. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
Step 4: Allow the berry mixture to sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to release natural fruit juices and enhance flavor.
Step 5: To assemble, spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta onto each toasted baguette slice. Top with a spoonful of the berry mixture. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of your favorite fresh berries or seasonal fruits to customize the flavor and color of your bruschetta.
For a more indulgent version, drizzle a small amount of honey or balsamic glaze over the berry topping.
If you prefer a crunchier texture, add chopped toasted nuts like almonds or pistachios on top before serving.
Substitute the whole wheat baguette with a gluten-free bread option to accommodate dietary needs.

Storage

Store any leftover whipped ricotta and berry mixture separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep toasted baguette slices in a sealed bag at room temperature to maintain crispness and assemble just before serving. Reheating the bread briefly in the toaster oven can refresh the crisp texture.

How to Serve

The image shows small toppings on several pieces of toasted bread arranged on a round light brown marble board resting on a woven mat over a white marbled surface. Each toast has three layers: a base of golden brown toasted bread, a thick layer of white cream on top, and diced red strawberries, dark blueberries, and small green mint leaves as the final toppings. Three additional toasts are on two white plates to the left and top, and a colander with more fresh strawberries, blueberries, and cherries is placed at the back right. A wooden bowl with mixed berries and a floral patterned spoon is on the right. A green and white bag of Truvia Sweet Complete sweetener is positioned standing next to the colander.

FAQs

Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?

Frozen berries can be used, but they should be thawed and drained to remove excess moisture. Keep in mind that fresh berries provide the best texture and flavor for this recipe.

What can I substitute for Truvia Sweetener?

You can replace Truvia with an equal amount of sugar, honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener of your choice, adjusting to taste as needed.
