I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but this recipe was surprisingly good. I might even make it again!

The instructions were a bit confusing and the ricotta didn't turn out as smooth as I expected.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try a different one next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ricotta turned out lumpy. Not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I ran out of ricotta cheese for my cannoli filling and this homemade version saved the day. It was just as good as the store-bought kind.
