Cheesecake Ricotta Creme

1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
1/4 cup of plain yogurt
2 tablespoons of cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
Splenda to taste

15 almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts, chopped very fine.

Mix everything but the nuts together - or in a mini-food processor if you have one, for a much smoother consistency. Take 2 snack size Gladware containers, line the bottoms with the chopped nuts, and then spoon in the ricotta mixture. Put in the fridge to chill for about an hour and then enjoy.

Makes 2 small, but rich servings.

You can add some great flavors to this by adding some powdered sugar free jello mix.
