I've done a couple of searches on the board for ricotta recipes, but nothing is all in one place, so I thought we could start a new thread on it.

How about sharing our favorite ricotta or yogurt recipes? I borrowed my SBD book from the library, so I don't have any of the recipes handy anymore. I'd love to have the recipe for the chocolate and lemon flavored ones.

This is one I like a lot. I tried it one evening when I had a chocolate craving and nothing legal in the house. Coffee and chocolate are sorta similar, and this really did the trick.

MOCHA FLAVORED TREAT

1 container FF plain yogurt (or 1/2 cup ricotta)

1 small splash of vanilla extract (1/4 tsp?)

1 packet Splenda

1-2 tbl of leftover coffee from the bottom of the coffee pot --- ROFL!!!!

It tastes just as good as the mocha yogurt you can buy pre-flavored! Very much a coffee and cream flavor. It also tastes good with the ricotta.

That does sound good (and practical--I hate throwing away that extra coffee!!)

Here are 2 that dh & I like. I do it all by approximations so sorry I don't have exact measurements. Obviously, follow the guidelines from the SBD book --

Mexican Chocolate

Ricotta

Some sugar free chocolate syrup (a couple of tsps I would guess)

Vanilla

Cinnamon

1 T FF half & half

(No need for equal because the syrup is quite sweet)

Mix all together. Top with a few dark choc chips, or nuts.

Banana Nut Ricotta Creme

Ricotta

Packet of equal

Vanilla extract

Banana extract

1T FF half & half

Mix all together. Top with some walnuts or pecans. It's also good with a few choc chips.

Hope you enjoy these!

Here are my two current favorites:

COCONUT RICOTTA CREME

Ricotta

Packet of equal

Vanilla extract

Coconut extract

2 or 3 T LF Reddi whip (can be omitted, but it makes it really lite and fluffy)


LEMON/LIME RICOTTA CREME

Juice of 1/2 a lemon or lime or combination of both

Ricotta

Packet of equal

Vanilla extract

ENJOY!!

oo! these sound really good. I was thinking of adding mint extract to the chocolate ricotta, or peanut butter....

I can't wait to get back to my apt to try one!
