❓Recipe FAQs

Can I substitute the Ricotta cheese with something else?

Yes, if you prefer, you can use whipped cream cheese instead?

Can I make Ricotta crostini ahead and store in the freezer?

It's best to make this shortly before serving so the baguette doesn't get soggy and the fruit and cheese don't dry out.
