Favorite ricotta/yogurt dessert recipes
| Sun, 06-13-2004 - 1:59pm |
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.

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!

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!!

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