I served this for a Italian meal I served and I thought they were going to die from eating so much of this. I used a bowl instead of the glasses. The ricotta mixture was not thick so I don't know if it was suppose to be that way or not.I used a lemon shortbread cookie because that was what my local store had and I think it enhased the flavor.<br/>You will not go wrong on this recipe.
