Can I substitute cottage cheese for ricotta??

  • I tried the ricotta dessert last night and while it was good I found the ricotta to be a tad grainy and this was the extra smooth. I was wondering if I could substitute with low fat cottage cheese instead?? I figured it would be creamier yet still give me protein to satisfy my hunger>
  • Sure, Harley. I think someone else tried that... I don't think they liked it, but ...

  • I use 1% Cottage Cheese
    Instead of the ricotta all the time. I like to blend it in my mini food processer to get it really smooth.
  • The cottage cheese has less calories, more calcium, and it is way cheaper. Works for me. Cinnamon and splenda, maybe a little vanilla.
  • Last night for my dessert I had 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 pkt spenda. YUMMMY!! Will try the cinnamon and splenda that sounds good as well.
