Any suggestions for a half container of ricotta? I’ve read to add cocoa powder and eat it like that. ??

Sophia Loren's Ricotta Condita

This simple dressed ricotta recipe is adapted from Sophia Loren's cookbook ‘In Cucina Con Amore.’ She mentions Peter Seller’s loved it.

Loren mixed 500g Ricotta cheese, 4 tbsp sugar, 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, then served it with a splash of brandy. Use your own quantities.

You can also dress ricotta with:

Chocolate chips. chopped candid fruit and citrus zest.

Or sugar, ground coffee and whiskey.

Or use a little runny honey, cinnamon and a splash of herbal or fruit liqueur. Serve with a chopped fruit salad.
