    Surprisingly really good! I ran the ricotta longer in the processor and added a little more vanilla. Served it with homemade biscotti and it was a delicious light dessert!

    I didn't care for the ricotta cream. It seemed a bit grainy/granular even after I ran it through the food processor. Overall great light dessert concept, but final product left a little to be desired.

    On a restrictive diet and used FF ricotta, Splenda, and 1/2 the honey and it still turned out fabulous! The basil was a great alternative to the usual mint...in fact, it is now a go to with this and other dessert recipes.
