Trying on Pancakes

Thanks
My husband cooks great locarb pancakes :P and bacon on Sunday morning, but I am not a syrup fan . I finally found a recipe for 1/2 Cream cheese and 1/2 Strawberry jam w/splenda, but now I am going to also try the sweetened Ricotta cheese .

That's funny - I'd just invented my own recipe and thought I'd check to see if anyone else had posted it ....... as it's so similar to the ricotta one, I won't start a new thread!

Mascarpone from cheese allowance
Vanilla extract to taste
Splenda/sweetener to taste if desired

Mix and eat

The taste reminds me of really rich Italian icecream or panecotta. I found I didn't need any sweetener, just the vanilla. I've tried this with extra thick cream [don't stir too much with extra thick cream as it thins it, just fold in the flavouring], but I think the mascarpone works better.

I will have to give the ricotta version a try too!

hi

I have had a similar version as well. It had mixed equal parts of whipped cream (sweetened with splenda and vanilla) and ricotta and then a little decaf espresso swirled through it. Sort of like tirimisu.

Oh my, Bigboy, that sounds delicious! I'm going to have to try that one, like maybe right this minute!

ricotta is also delicious with about 1/2 packet of splenda for 1/4 cup of ricotta. mmmmmm.

Add a tbsp of cocoa powder and this makes an amazing chocolate cream. I have some every day!
