I've been doing SBD for 3 days now, so far so good. Only had a headache, all day yesterday !! Not fun but knew it would be gone soon. I read somewhere about someone making the Ricotta Cheese dessert. I've got the recipes, but I've tried 2 different brands of Ricotta and both are gritty. Can you tell me what brand name is the smoothest? Or is there a way to smooth it out? Also I tried it with the SF jello and it tasted pretty good, except for the grittiness. Thanks for listening. This time I know it's going to work!!

I zap mine in my tiny food processor with an egg white. That seems to work for me. Where are you located? Brands are different in Canada and the USA.

I'm in New Mexico, I've tried the "off brand" from Wal-Mart and I can't remember the other one.

Hi Lasttime,

I use Dragone...not sure where it is distributed, it ends up pretty smooth after I put it through my food processor. I also add equal parts of low fat cottage cheese, this helps a lot. Let it whirl for several minutes. (like 3 to 4)

Walmart has a brand called Poly-O that I have heard is very smooth. I still haven't found it.

Make sure you eat this chilled, makes a big difference.

Good Luck

Meg

If you really don't like the ricotta you can use cottage cheese. The fat-free is allowed (actually I use the low fat) and it's just lumpy, not gritty

I use part ricotta and part low fat cottage cheese and add alittle SF/FF instant pudding mix to it plus a tablespoon of water, and zap it in the food processor. I don't find a problem with it being gritty or lumpy. I use enough to make 4 servings at a time.
