About

This vegan version of a snack my mother used to makes me feel nostalgic for my childhood. We loved sweets so my mom used to take ricotta and mix in honey and serve it on toasted bread and dust it with cinnamon. In my version, I skip the honey and use Just Like Honey from Suzanne’s Specialties.
