    Regarding the recipe for "rice" pudding -- I was skeptical but tried it...wow, this was way more like real rice pudding than I expected! It wasn't as hearty, more light, but I found that to be a good thing. My family and I celebrated Bodhi Day (Buddha's enlightenment) on Dec 8th and rice pudding is kind of traditional...this was a good replacement. Thank you :)

    This recipe is great for those who want a 'sweet' dessert but don't want to add any kind of sweetener. Love it!!

    Do you think there's any way to thicken it up? It tastes great but is a little runny.

    I'm skeptical as I don't like cottage cheese, but I'm definitely going to try this, it looks sooo good!

    If you want it thicker, strain it. For those who don’t like it, you might try adding a little sweetener. I do. And cut back on the vanilla which I found over powering.

    I love cottage cheese but I didn't care for this. Not sweet enough.

    You may want to add a touch of sweetener to taste. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/sweeteners#top3

    We have not tested this with ricotta, but it can work well as a substitute for cottage cheese, generally speaking.

    I've made this twice. Much better the second time, when I rinsed and strained the curds before adding them. Tastes less "cheesey" and more like the real thing. I like mine with about 2 Tbsp of granular sweetener per 6 servings.

    Very good ! We implemented w/ 1 teaspoon of chia seeds & 1 teaspoon bocha sweet. A few red raspberries & mint sprig on top added pizzazz. .
    Excellent Dessert
