ingredients

1 pint ricotta cheese, divided (whole milk)
2 tablespoons Splenda granular, artificial sweetener

Divide the ricotta cheese into two bowls. In bowl one add a tablespoon of Splenda and a teaspoon of cinnamon and stir well, refrigerate.
OPTIONAL: Sprinkle a bit of nutmeg or cocoa on top and add whipped cream.
In bowl two add one tablespoon of Splenda and the juice and zest of the lemon and stir well, refrigerate. OPTIONAL: Stir in a quarter cup of berries and top with whipped cream.

Yum! I'm watching carbs and didn't want to use the oven to make a baked ricotta dessert. Made the cinnamon version and added some cocoa powder to make chocolate. Thanks for sharing! I'll try lemon next time.

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas! Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments. My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL! Things that crack me up are: DH Fred from youtube.com Nick, my nephew Fish and Poi song as performed by PoiBoi My possum recipe per the song on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVvL4-srt6U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpbyM8k7e2Q wow this is good! my Doggie Little Yellow Petey Bird on youtube My BFF's. all of them and there are so many! and my little Sister Mary Beth. She has MS and Lupus and a great attitude. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
