I love ricotta with a little sugar and a Lille stirred in.
milkandhoneycomb
i’d try it. might be nice on warm shortbreads?
Eric_Durden
Dunno if I’d like it, but it seems weird enough that if I saw it I’d buy it out of curiosity.

I would. Ricotta is so veritile you can make it savory for pastas but also sweet , lemony etc for Ricotta pies n cookies. I’m sure this is probably very good.
Childless_Catlady42
I’d try it. All cheese is good, some is just better than others.
EmergencyTaco
I’ll try anything once. Lay it on me.

Maybe on a waffle 🧇

It sounds like a cannoli without the shell! Dessert cheeses always taste better than they seem like.
Itchy_Professor_4133
There are a variety of great desserts that have ricotta in them. You should get out more OP
Sounds like a ricotta cheese cake. I would try it with nilla wafers. Chocolate chip ricotta is what goes in cannoli, how is this so crazy in comparison?
dave-gonzo
I’ll try anything twice.
BlueProcess
Absolutely I would
mandvanwyk
Sounds like a crustless cheesecake to me! Mmmmm …..

My grandma would make dough and put sweet ricotta with chocolate chips in it, then cut the dough into raviolis and fry them. She would coat them in cinnamon and sugar and dip them in melted chocolate

Not too crazy. Cannolis are usually filled with a blend of ricotta, mascarpone, and chocolate chips.
I recently went to an event that paired different wines, cheeses and chocolates together and it was out of this world good.

Conceptually seems similar to the lemon baked ricotta I tried the other day. That one tasted like a nice, fluffy lemon cheesecake, I’d imagine this one would resemble a chocolate chip cheesecake or something along those lines. I’d definitely try it
rosiecrane
yes and it’s delicious I just straight up eat it with a spoon
MotherRaven
I’d eat it. That sounds delish!
Grinds-my-teeth
I’m ve had the lemon one. It was delicious.
GallicRooster86
I love all my fellow Fromage Freaks. This is basically cannoli filling and now I need to have it.

Yes, I’d give it a nibble.
clitter-box
I bought the lemon one and thought it was good, wish it had a bit more lemon taste though
MaxH42
This sounds great! Trader Joe’s has a lemon ricotta that tastes a lot like a crustless lemon cheesecake, this probably tastes like a chocolate chip cheesecake.
Plane-Tie6392
Wow, I saw the pic first and assumed the post was going to be about how good it was or how stoked you are to try it or something.
fatapolloissexy
I’ve eaten and made a lot of Sweetened ricotta dips.
You’re just put off by the packaging.
If it was in a tub? Cute cookie logo? More plastic waste?
poosebunger
This sounds really good to me right now

I recently tried a raspberry white chocolate Cheddar from Aldi that tasted like vomit. This can’t be worse.
cheese_theory
I would try it
mrmatt244
Have you ever eaten ricotta? If you have then you would know it’s a great transporter of flavor! This would probably taste just like a chocolate chip cookie but with the smooth silky creaminess of ricotta. I’m down to try it for sure!
randyROOSTERrose
Don’t knock until you try it. Ricotta is soooo good sweet OR savory. Cannolis are a gift from god
legendary_mushroom
Hell yes. I’ve had lemon baked ricotta and that was a real treat. Besides, ricotta turns up in lots of desserts!
I imagine this hits like a chocolate cheesecake.
[deleted]
Lots of young cheeses pair well with dark chocolate, but baked ricotta isn’t even cheese really, it is legitimately just cheesecake. It’s got eggs and sugar in it and everything.

Ricotta is used in a lot of desserts, so not too surprised this exists.
Hot_Gas_8073
The lemon version was delicious. Great texture too.
onihr1
I literally just saw this at Aldi’s!!! We bough the baked lemon one and it was good.
7x60SOM
I would eat the shit outta that with some nilla wafers!!
luna-ley
lol? Ricotta is frequently paired with sweet ingredients. Have you never had a cannoli..?
ignatiusjreillyXM
I’d certainly try it. It seems a reasonable thing to do with ricotta
mrbubblesnatcher
Id never eat plastic
Or judge something before it’s unwrapped..sooo
Zorgsmom
Yeah, it looks like a dessert cheese ball to me. Gimme some graham crackers & I will take care it for you.
gobblegobblechumps
Would i eat this? Probably the whole thing in a sitting chased with regret
I did! It actually wasn’t bad. I’m not gonna buy it again, but it was edible. It works because ricotta is a little sweet.
_extra_medium_
Do you know what ricotta tastes like? It’s used in all kinds of sweet recipes.
LurkingPGuy
I actually had this exact cheese this week! It’s not the best and I probably wouldn’t get it again but it tastes kind of like chocolate chip cookie dough.. but with an [obvious] ricotta note (wish I could give a better flavor profile).. It’s special in its own way and I could only finish it by spreading it on the chocolate chip brioche they sell because it desperately needs a vehicle to go down easier.

THAT’S THE GUTS OF A FAMILY OF CANNOLI
jmf0828
Fun fact, the cream in a cannoli is just ricotta and powdered sugar. Most will put either chocolate chips or citron in it too. So this gets you halfway there.
