Description:
Because part-skim ricotta cheese has about half the fat and calories of cream cheese, it makes a healthy base for this simple raspberry dip recipe. Use as a dip for fresh fruit or spread on toast, muffins or crostini.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons raspberry jam
  • 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 of a 6 ounce package (about 2/3 cup) Driscoll's Raspberries
  1. Blend ricotta, yogurt, jam and vanilla with a wire wisk until smooth. Stir in raspberries to blend, leaving some pieces of berries visible. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until well chilled.
  2. Use as a dip for sliced bananas, apples or peaches, or spread on bagels, bruschetta or whole grain muffins.

Lighten Up Tip

  1. Lighten up the recipe by using fat-free ricotta cheese.
