By popular request, and again with two thumbs up from the beach, this is an AWESOME breakfast with fresh berries, or an AWESOMER dessert with berries and whipped cream (and someone feeding it to you!).

Baked Ricotta (this is a doubled recipe)

Spray a 9-10" pie plate with Pam.

32 oz. part-skim ricotta cheese
4 eggs
1 cup granulated Splenda (Do NOT use Splenda for Baking - it contains sugar)
2 tsp. extract - I've tried vanilla, lemon, orange and almond, and will be trying a pumpkin version for the holidays with a little pureed pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice
Cinnamon is really good sprinkled on the vanilla version before baking.

Pour into pie plate, bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes to an hour, or until it's no longer underarm jiggly and is lightly browned!

Enjoy!

Underarm jiggly? Is that a technical term?

Im having a hard time with ricotta and sweetness. How does it taste sweetened?

Yep! We compared jigglies at the beach!!! LMAO!!!!

Like cannoli filling!!! Do you mean you can't imagine it sweetened? It's yummy!!!! But you could also omit the Splenda and add Italian seasonings and top with meat sauce to make it savory and even more protein friendly!!

Yeah I just cant imagine it being sweetened, im used to it being in an Italian dish. Something new to try.

Dont mention comparing jigglies. I have batwings now and I dont even know what to call the stuff hanging from my thighs.
