    I love ricotta with a little sugar and a Lille stirred in.

  2. milkandhoneycomb

    i’d try it. might be nice on warm shortbreads?

  3. 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.

  4. True-Armadillo8626

    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.

  5. Childless_Catlady42

    I’d try it. All cheese is good, some is just better than others.

  6. Useful-Winter8320

    It sounds like a cannoli without the shell! Dessert cheeses always taste better than they seem like.

  7. Itchy_Professor_4133

    There are a variety of great desserts that have ricotta in them. You should get out more OP

  8. 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?

  9. 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

  13. rosiecrane

    yes and it’s delicious I just straight up eat it with a spoon

  14. Grinds-my-teeth

    I’m ve had the lemon one. It was delicious.

  15. GallicRooster86

    I love all my fellow Fromage Freaks. This is basically cannoli filling and now I need to have it.

  16. clitter-box

    I bought the lemon one and thought it was good, wish it had a bit more lemon taste though

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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?

    I recently tried a raspberry white chocolate Cheddar from Aldi that tasted like vomit. This can’t be worse.

  21. 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!

  22. randyROOSTERrose

    Don’t knock until you try it. Ricotta is soooo good sweet OR savory. Cannolis are a gift from god

  23. 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. 

  24. [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.

  25. crowleytapdancing

    Ricotta is used in a lot of desserts, so not too surprised this exists.

  26. Hot_Gas_8073

    The lemon version was delicious. Great texture too.

  27. I literally just saw this at Aldi’s!!! We bough the baked lemon one and it was good.

  28. I would eat the shit outta that with some nilla wafers!!

  29. lol? Ricotta is frequently paired with sweet ingredients. Have you never had a cannoli..?

  30. ignatiusjreillyXM

    I’d certainly try it. It seems a reasonable thing to do with ricotta

  31. mrbubblesnatcher

    Id never eat plastic

    Or judge something before it’s unwrapped..sooo

  32. Yeah, it looks like a dessert cheese ball to me. Gimme some graham crackers & I will take care it for you.

  33. gobblegobblechumps

    Would i eat this? Probably the whole thing in a sitting chased with regret

  34. LaMadreDelCantante

    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.

  35. _extra_medium_

    Do you know what ricotta tastes like? It’s used in all kinds of sweet recipes.

  36. 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

  38. 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.
