Microwave strawberries until partially thawed and mixture breaks up easily with a fork, about 2 minutes. Siphon off 2 tablespoons of the thawed juice, then transfer strawberries to a food processor; add ricotta and process until smooth.
Mix the gelatin with lemon juice and reserved strawberry juice in a small microwave-safe bowl until gelatin softens, about 1 minute. Microwave until gelatin has dissolved and liquid is clear, about 45 seconds. Pour into the food process; continue to process until fully incorporated.
Transfer to a large bowl and refrigerate.
Beat egg whites with a mixer over medium high speed until foamy and starting to form peaks. Fold whites into the strawberry mixture until thoroughly blended. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours (can be refrigerated overnight).
To serve: spoon into stemmed glasses, and garnish with sliced strawberries.
