Ingredients

Scale

Sweetener

  • 2 tablespoons Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener

Base

  • 1 Whole Wheat Baguette

Ricotta Mixture

  • 3/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener (from total 2 Tbsp)

Berry Topping

  • 1/2 cup Fresh Strawberry, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Blueberry
  • 1/4 cup Cherry, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Blackberry
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Mint, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener (remaining from total 2 Tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Baguette Slices: Lightly toast the whole wheat baguette slices under a broiler or in a toaster oven until they turn golden brown and become crisp. Once toasted, set them aside to cool slightly so they firm up and are ready to hold toppings without becoming soggy.
  2. Prepare Sweetened Ricotta: In a bowl, whisk together the part-skim ricotta cheese and 1 tablespoon of Truvia sweetener until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will add a subtle sweetness and creamy texture to the ricotta. Refrigerate this whipped ricotta until you are ready to assemble the toasts.
  3. Mix the Berries: In a separate medium bowl, gently combine the chopped fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, pitted cherries, fresh blackberries, chopped fresh mint, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Truvia sweetener. Toss the fruit mixture lightly to evenly distribute the sweetness and mint without bruising the delicate berries.
  4. Macreate the Fruit: Allow the berry mixture to sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. This step helps the fruit release its natural juices, creating a slightly saucy topping that enhances the flavor and moisture of the bruschetta.
  5. Assemble the Bruschetta Toasts: Spread a generous layer of the sweetened whipped ricotta onto each cooled toasted baguette slice. Then, top each piece with a spoonful of the juicy berry mixture. Garnish with extra fresh mint leaves if desired for a fresh, aromatic finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of crisp toast, creamy ricotta, and fresh fruity topping.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Whole wheat baguette provides a nuttier taste and a healthier fiber option.
  • Stevia sweetener keeps this recipe lower in calories without sacrificing sweetness.
  • Letting the fruit sit enhances juiciness but do not wait too long to avoid sogginess on the toast.
  • Can be made dairy-free by substituting ricotta with a plant-based cream cheese alternative.
  • This recipe is best served immediately after assembly to maintain crisp textures.
