Step 1

In a medium bowl gently stir together strawberries, the 1 tablespoon snipped mint, and the sugar. Let stand about 15 minutes or until berries are softened and starting to release their juices.

In a medium mixing bowl combine ricotta cheese, agave nectar, vanilla, and lemon peel. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes

Step 3

To assemble, scoop 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture into each of six parfait glasses. Top each with a large spoonful of strawberry mixture. Repeat with the remaining ricotta mixture and the remaining strawberry mixture. Garnish with additional fresh mint. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 4 hours.
