Ricotta Cheese...is a Magic Cheese!

And I love MAGIC!

I would help my Grandmother make ravioli, manicotti, lasagna all using Ricotta Cheese. One day she said she was going to make dessert and sent me to the store to buy ricotta cheese. I remember being a little confused as to how could something we would always use to make dinner, become a dessert. But what happened when I handed Grandma the ricotta, was magic.

1-lb ricotta cheese

1/2 cup heavy cream

1-tsp of pure vanilla 

1/4-cup of confectioners sugar, add more after you taste it

Shaved or grated dark chocolate

Fresh berries

1-Drain the ricotta of as much liquid as possible by placing it in a strainer or cheese cloth and then place it over a bowl and into the fridge. I let mine drain for 8 hours or over night. 

2-Add the vanilla to the heavy cream and whip it. 

3-Place the ricotta and sugar in a mixing bowl and whip it until it becomes creamy.

4-add the whipped cream and fold everything together until combined. 

5-Place this back in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. 

6-Serve with the berries and some shaved or grated chocolate. 

7-Friend request to always get my recipes
