Using my "Richer Ricotta" as a base, this is a light but very flavourful alternative to cream cheese frosting that works wonders on carrot, spice or coffee cake! You can even use it to fill cannoli in a pinch.
Ingredients
- 4.5 oz Richer Ricotta shopping list
- 2 tbsp non-hydrogenated shortening (I used Earth Balance - don't use butter, it makes it too soft to hold up) shopping list
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract shopping list
- zest of 1 small or 1/2 large orange shopping list
- 1/3 cup sifted icing sugar shopping list
- pinch nutmeg shopping list
How to make it
- Beat together ricotta, shortening, vanilla and orange zest in a bowl.
- Add the sugar and nutmeg and beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Keep in the fridge.
Serving Size
- Makes enough for top and filling of a 9" cake, 12 slices
