The combination of lactose-free Kite Hill Ricotta and Kite Hill Cream Cheese-style Spread gives the texture and flavor you’ve been missing. And that’s just the “classic” version! This plant-based dessert gets even better when you add in fruit, vegan chocolate chips, or anything your culinary heart desires. One bite and you’ll know for sure you can eat plant-based and still have it all. Just remember, start prepping the day before to allow it to set overnight, it’s worth the wait.
