none of those ricotta crème ideas really appealed to me, so i thought a little about what i could mix into the cheese that would be at least partially decent.
my first experiment: ricotta with salsa.
and actually, it's good. if you close your eyes and maybe hold your nose, you can almost imagine that you're eating cold refried beans.
almost :wink:
anyone else got any bright ideas for ricotta? |

Thanks for the laugh -- I'm sure it burned a few more calories |

I wonder what it would taste like with a box of sugar free dry jello mixed in.
I've mixed Crystal Light into it (lemonade flavor) and it's a hell of a lot tastier than the book's recipe...but I'm wondering if the jello would be good too.
Salsa and ricotta? That sorta made my stomach turn LOL!
I wonder if you mixed cinnamon and some sugar free syrup in there if it'd taste like a damn pancake. :D |

| I take the 1/2 cup of ricotta and mix in 1 tablespoon of jello powder, very good and gives you the fruit flavor. If your like me I missed the fruit on PH 1 and this helped. I mix it up and let it set a couple hours. I also have added cocoa powder instead and Splanda with a little vanilla, also very good! |

| If you haven't tried it - use sugar free pudding in the flavor of your choice. My family prefers the jello brand (pistachio). Just use water in place of the milk and not quite the full amount. Ours sometimes turns out too thick. 1 small box + small container of cheese. |

I wasn't crazy about it at first but started experimenting----
Skip the zest --- din't like at all!
Try other flavors of extracts --- orange is great; almond not bad. I also add some nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans).
Gelatin (sugar free of course) with the ricotta or cottage cheese and nuts mixed in is great. Also like it as others have mentioned with sugar free puddings! Would imagine any flavor you like (and can find) would taste good. |

| If you make the vanilla one and add some cinnamon it tastes like flan. But I'm taking a little break from the ricotta. |

| I make ricotta omlettes and they are not too bad. The ricotta seems to taste better when it's warm and melted. |
