Dolce di Ricotta - summer dessert

Many times the Italians just lump all cheese in the salata category - thinking that it is best eaten with the main course but there are some special exceptions on the menu where the cheese can go either way depending on the condiments served.  Ricotta cheese is great with either salty foods or sweet foods and in this receipe it is great as a dessert.

Ingredients:

• 500 gr. of fresh, creamy ricotta cheese
• 100 gr. sugar
• 150 gr. whipping cream
• 2 eggs whites

Whip egg whites and set aside.

Mix ricotta cheese, sugar and whipping cream together.  Mix well.

Add egg whites.

Served chilled with fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches or raspberries).

It has a rich creamy texture like a thick vanilla pudding!
