Test Kitchen: Lemony Creme

I saw this recipe for Italian Lemon Creme on Dimes2Vines and immediately thought I had to give it a try as a filling for my sweet crepes, a follow-up to savory crepes. If you have not checked out this website, I encourage you to do so as there are some really great posts. The following recipe is based on the recipe referenced above, with slight modifications.

Ingredients

2 cups ricotta cheese (1 15-ounce container) - if you have homemade that is awesome. I used this.

1 pasture egg

1/4 cup honey, I used local honey

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)

How To:

1. Combine the first four ingredients through salt in a medium bowl and mix well (I used a hand mixer).

2. Mix in lemon juice by hand.

3. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve! I sprinkled with a small amount of coconut crystals.

Comments:

I think this will make a perfect filling for my crepes and was also a tasty little treat on its own. Very quick and easy to make. I could also see using this mixed with berries or other fruit for a decadant breakfast treat.
