We originally took this idea for a spin in our kitchen, putting together different toppings, and in conclusion, it turned out a favorite. OK, by now, I’m really beginning to crave for some, lol… You guys will love this recipe, plus, this is a good recipe for all the late night snacking with friends.

Optionally, you can substitute ricotta with cream cheese. As for the toppings, different types of chocolates and berries, including canned cherries.
