Why Ricotta Cheese?
I’ve been creating recipes since 2011 and I’m also Italian and have been using ricotta cheese for years in my low carb recipes.
Some people just hate cottage cheese and I have many recipes using it so I decided it was time to switch things up and share more ricotta cheese recipes for all of you who are not a fan of cottage cheese.
But the best part about using either cottage cheese or ricotta cheese is that they can be swapped in so many recipes.
Cottage cheese and ricotta cheese have similar amounts of protein, but ricotta cheese doesn’t have any curds or lumps which makes it easier to combine in recipes quickly. Cottage cheese often has to be in the blender or food processor to remove the lumpy curds.
Whole Milk Ricotta or Part Skim
It actually doesn’t matter which type of ricotta cheese you decide to use. If you want to lower the carbs, use whole milk ricotta cheese.
If you want to lower the fat, use part-skim ricotta cheese. Either will work in this easy ricotta dessert.
Can I swap the Ricotta Cheese?
You could swap the ricotta cheese with cottage cheese if you wanted to reduce the carbs and fat amount and still keep the protein.
If you want to swap with cream cheese, you could but you would be sacrificing the protein amount.
If you decide to use cream cheese please soften before using and then you can also remove the gelatin as you won’t need it using cream cheese which is thick enough on it’s own.
Can I remove the coffee?
If you don’t like coffee flavor, you can replace it with water, or coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk.
Can I make this a Chocolate Ricotta Mousse?
Yes if you prefer chocolate flavor to be added, please add 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. You don’t want to add too many tablespoons because you want to keep it a creamy ricotta cheese and not a grainy one. Taste and adjust.
Please note you will need to add that into the nutritional information below because it does add carbs. I would also suggest adding in some chocolate liquid Monk Fruit sweetener.
Can I add peanut butter?
If you want to change the flavor to peanut butter instead of coffee, just replace the coffee amount with water and add 5 tablespoons of sugar free powdered peanut butter or 2 tablespoons of regular no sugar added peanut butter.
Please keep in mind this will change the nutritional info below and add fat and carbs.
Can I change the low carb sweetener?
Yes if you don’t like liquid stevia that I am using in this delicious sweet treat, you can use any low carb sweetener you prefer.
I do not recommend anything that is granular as it will leave a grainy texture in the mousse. A few tablespoons of keto powdered sugar, like this Monk Fruit Allulose blend would work nicely and incorporate well.
