30 MINUTES OR LESS Other flavors can be added to the basic ricotta cheese and sugar substitute mix. For example, you might consider using 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and 1 teaspoon slivered toasted almonds, or for a mocha treat, 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, a dash of espresso powder and 5 mini chocolate chips. Because part-skim ricotta cheese has such a mild taste, it lends itself as a backdrop to these flavorings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/4 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 pkg. sugar substitute
Preparation
Mix together ricotta, lemon zest, vanilla extract and sugar substitute in serving bowl, and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
