AMAZING!!!! This was SO yummy! I put this on top of many other desserts, and it works so well! The only changes I make are that I add whipped cream to it and I add a little vanilla. The vanilla makes such a big difference. DELICIOUS!!

Or use 3/4 lb. fresh ricotta 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp. vanilla and whip about 1.5 mins. Spread on a platter and top with the fruit. Drizzle with honey and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and garnish with mint.

Love it! This is very much like ricotta creme and so much healthier than a whipped cream topping. This is a wonderful non-guilty treat. Not everyone has Marsala wine sitting around nor do they want to open a can of nonfat evaporated milk for just a tablespoon so I sub'd 1/2 t. vanilla extract for the wine and used a lowfat milk in place of the evaporated milk. (I have made it with Marsala and it gives it a Zabaglione taste.) I ran the ricotta mixture through the food processor till is was smooth. It will never be whipped cream smooth but it was smooth enough ... you can use powder sugar in place of white sugar which helps with smoothness. The creme taste like the inside of a cannoli. Serve with a variety of fresh berries/fruits and top with a nut of your choice. I like the creme so much that I serve it topped with the fruit not the fruit topped with it.

I love fresh berries and "cream", meaning "whipped cream" so I thought I'd give this a try. And while the concept is good, I found I do like things a little sweeter and ended up folding in some homemade "whipped cream" into the mixture.

Toasted some macadamia nuts because the store didn't have hazelnuts, otherwise, followed the recipe. This was OK, but I wasn't crazy about the ricotta cream. Even after beating with a mixer, the texture was "grainy" for a lack of a better word, not creamy.

It tastes very good, but the texture was more of a dressing than a cream

This was a nice new recipe (a "grown-up" treat), but since I have a big sweet tooth, I think I would prefer whipping cream to ricotta. I used raspberries instead of blueberries.

I wasn't very thrilled with this recipe. The ricotta flavor was strong even though I didn't use a full cup. I had to use Sherry instead of Marsala b/c that's all I had, so that may have had something to do with it. It was kind of thick and needed to be sweeter.

The reason I'm giving this recipe a review because my grandpa is diabetic and he doesn't get many sweets or treats so this will be a real treat thank you
