Ingredients

    Ricotta Cheese, whole milk, 0.50 cup
    Egg, fresh, 1 large
    Salt, 1 dash
    Pumpkin, cooked, 0.25 cup, mashed
    Cinnamon and nutmeg, dash to 1/8 tsp per serving. If you don't like these spices, try flavoring w/ peanut butter, 2-4 Tbsp
    *Flax Seed Meal (ground flax), 2 tbsp

Directions

This cooks on the stove. I usually find it goes fastest in a non-stick skillet.

1) Mix up the ricotta with water to thin it out - quite thin if you want to add flax seed meal, which thickens it a lot.
2) Add an egg and beat well (I use a whisk) - you don't want a lot of strings of egg white.
3) Add the pumpkin and salt.
4) Sweeten to taste and add cinnamon and nutmeg or whatever. If I have it, I like to add a touch of Da Vinci's Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup.
5) Stir while heating on medium heat. When it goes "grainy", that's the egg cooking. Stir in the flax seed meal at this point.

Possible additions: peanut butter (yum!), butter, nuts, you name it.

    Incredible!
    This simple recipe is actually great. You can absolutely use packaged pumpkin (carton or can). This is essentially a sort of 'boiled custard', with ricotta standing in for the milk/cream. Yum yum yum. I ground flaxseeds fresh for this, and add them at the very end of cooking. - 4/19/19
