Since being on the South Beach Diet for a week now, this is the best thing I have eaten so far. I took one bite and it tasted like pumpkin pie... even though there's no pumpkin! Delicious!!! I'll definitely have it again tomorrow!

Ok, this recipe doesn't look that tempting, but I assure you, if you try it, you'll want to eat as dessert every day! I loved it!

I don't think I can give ANY of the ricotta desserts 5 stars, but this was pretty darn good...used pumpkin pie spice instead of the others, an extra dash of cinnamon, and a bit more splenda...plus I used the food processor to make it as creamy as possible (that is one tough task!!) But it IS nice to have a sweet treat you don't have to feel guilty about...

What a delicious idea. I used fat free ricotta, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and Splenda. I like my plain, but for my family I put it in mini graham crusts.

I love this dessert for fall. To avoid that funny texture of part-skim ricotta, I make sure to use a high-quality ricotta. It's pricier of course but makes for a much smoother ricotta creme.

Instead of using all the spices they recommended I just used the premade pumpkin pie spice. Much tastier and easier. I would also recommend doing like the recipe says and using low fat ricotta becuse the fat free leave a little bit of a film. Otherwise a really good treat

I doubled the recipe and added about 1/3c sugar instead of sugar substitute and used it as a filling with the basic crepes recipe. We all loved it and plan to keep it in regullar rotation for breakfast. Thanks!

There's only so much you can do with Ricotta cheese for a dessert and like it. This I had to say was very good. I did add a pinch of all-spice. Delicious especially for a South Beach healthy dessert recipe.

This was a very poor approximation of pumpkin pie in my opinion, largely due to the texture of the ricotta. A similar, but far better, recipe that is also South Beach-okay is the Mocha Ricotta Creme also on this site.
