Preparation

Step 1
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk, combine sugar and heavy cream. Add ricotta gradually, whisking until thick and slightly firm. Add orange zest, and whisk until just blended.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together strawberries, raspberries and blackberies. Place half of ricotta mixture in the bottom of a large serving bowl. Top with half of berry mixture and a sprinkling of chocolate shavings. Add remaining ricotta mixture, and top with remaining fruit and more chocolate shavings.

Cover lightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
