Riccota Cheese ideas

I just bought some low fat riccota chees and tried it Pam's way. (splenda and cinnamon). LOVED IT. Does anyone else have any dessert type recipes using riccota? I didn't know I would like it that way but I do and it's protein.

Thanks.

it is yummy! Any flavored extract and some splenda is good too - I like almond and maple the best. You can also do it savory and add spaghetti sauce and a bit of mozzarella and microwave for a few seconds. I have also heard of people adding jello crystals or  crystal light.

Enjoy!

Fabulous Ricotta Fluff

1 large container of ricotta cheese
1 box  SF jello instant cheesecake pudding
dollop or two of sour cream (to taste)
A little bit of milk to lighten it up (about a cup-add last and gradually)

Mix it all up and enjoy however you want it.  I love it with strawberries!  It's a great fruit dip or just eating straight out of the bowl. 

Variation for fluff:  Do whatever flavor of pudding you like and add a little milk to get the texture you like.

Butterscotch pudding is really good too.  Add splenda if you like sweet!

I recently googles pumpkin/ricotta recipes....Haven't made any yet, but sound good.  Simple from what I remember....pumpkin, ricotta, coolwhip, splenda, cinnamin....one had a box of sf pudding mix too.  I am going to try it out soon.

It's good stuff, no?  Glad you liked it.  For a real indulgence I'll add a dollop of sf coolwhip on top.

I also ate it Liz's way often and heated it up with a small amount of spaghetti sauce, shredded mozz, and a sprinkle of garlic powder for a noodless lasagna like taste.

I know Mary Ivins posted a recipie about ricotta and pumpkin which sounded pretty good - but I don't know it off the top of my head.

Experiment with it and see what you come up with!

check the south beach recipies

i mix up low fat ricotta,  splenda, powdered cocoa and  a splash of almond flavoring.  yuumm,,

these sound yummy!

One of my very favorite recipes is to make sf chocolate pudding with skim milk and add a cup of riccota cheese to it.


I also like to eat it  this way, half a cup of the cheese, 1 tlbs of coco powder and 1 splenda packet, mix well and enjoy.

My favorite law fat sugar free 'cheesecake' is a half cup of ricotta, grated lemon rind and a packet of slependa.  Mix well and enjoy.

I have a few more and will post them when i find them


Hope you like these

I hadn't thought of the coco powder and splenda idea....but you might see it on my menu in the very near future!  Sounds Yum-O

I use fat free ricotta or fat free cottage cheese to make protein pancakes.  I also use f/f ricotta to make salmon mousse (sort of like smoked salmon spread) using canned pink salmon and a little fat free cream cheese.  You can add small amount of f/f ricotta to your protein shakes to thicken them up.
