I have searched high and low for low fat ricotta, and cant find it. The ricotta I can get is 10% fat. Is there a lower fat version which SB needs? I have just made the ricotta creme (I hate that word) thingys with the 10% stuff, but I am a bit worried that I may be using something too fattening.

(although being lactose intolerant anyway I have no idea why I am making these things......... :lol: )

Any ideas (on the fat content not my perverse greed for dessert at all costs)?

I am not sure about the 10% fat. I know that originally I thought that ricotta that said "part skim" wasn't light enough, but I have been told part-skim is just fine.

I did find a lowfat version, even lighter than part-skim, but it was really difficult to find.

If it says part-skim anywhere on it, I think you're okay. Not sure if it helped, but good luck. :?:

I have only been able to find Part Skim ricotta also....I hope that is okay, I have only ever seen that and Whole Milk ricotta.

Good Carbs, Good Fats says part-skim is fine so go for the 10%.

I use the part skim Ricotta, which I really like. I have tried the FF Ricotta, and can I say this? Grosssssss..... at least I thought it was, I know there are people out there who like it. I am just jealous and wishing I was one of them.

Okay, got a giggle out of the lactose intolerant remark!

Lots of luck.
