  1. I wish I had more than 5 stars. I've just finished scraping my spoon against the parfait dish to get every last taste sensation. It does taste like a fattening dish. I had the serving portion and I was totally satisfied. The taste is creamy and tastes like cheesecake, but without the work of course. The dessert was done in no time and we didn't even chill it for the whole 2 hours, and it didn't affect the taste. I highly recommend this dessert for those cutting calories and for those who don't need to, you'll never guess it's low fat. I did have to double the recipe to feed my family, because the original only makes 2 servings.
     
  2. I thought this would be delicious, but in making the creamy portion I decided it needed a little more sugar. The sugar broke down the ricotta leaving me with a runny mess. I will try the recipe without the extra sugar (or with a substitute) when I get some more ricotta. :-)
     
  3. This is really good and pretty to look at, also. I only had full fat cream cheese in the house but I took the calorie chance and made it anyways. So very good that I'd bet it'd be great with the low fat version of cream cheese, too. The was so easy to put together and I'll be making it often and perhaps try different berries.
     
  4. I have been making this very same Cooking Light recipe for years, and it has become a huge family favorite, I was pleased to see this posted here! Don't pass this one up!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
