7 Keto Ricotta Recipes
These keto ricotta recipes are tasty ways to enjoy the low carb, high protein ingredient in a range of easy meals and desserts with ingredients that are easy to find at your local grocery store.
I always keep ricotta in my fridge and enjoy getting creative and finding new ways to incorporate the cheese in my low carb recipes, both savory and sweet treats.
You’ll find that ricotta cheese can be used in place of cream cheese, cottage cheese or even sour cream in sweet or savory dishes on the keto lifestyle. So, feel free to swap in ricotta when you find the ingredients listed in nutritional information.
So, over time I’ve shared 7 unique keto recipes that make the most of the versatility and flavor of a tub of ricotta cheese.
7 Keto Ricotta Recipes
Here are all of the keto diet recipes and the videos for you to choose from to meal prep.
1. Strawberry Ricotta Cake
This strawberry ricotta cake has only 3 or 4 main ingredients and looks impressive, while being low in net carbs and really simple to prepare.
The ingredients are simply whisked together in a large bowl before being baked to perfection. I like to keep the keto ricotta cake in the fridge in an airtight container to be able to indulge in a slice of the tender cake the next day and beyond when sweet cravings strike.

Ricotta makes a lovely creamy mousse base, and in this recipe is mixed with decadent chocolate for a simple, guilt free low carb dessert treat as a perfect ending to a low carb meal.
You simply whisk ricotta, cocoa powder and stevia or powdered sweetener together in a small bowl, then enjoy straight away or chill and enjoy when sweet cravings strike.

4. Scrambled Eggs With Ricotta and Spinach
This wholesome breakfast includes keto friendly large eggs, spinach and protein rich ricotta.
You can toss over shaved parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese for added protein and flavor, without adding too much to your total carb count.
Simply heat a little olive oil, coconut oil or unsalted butter in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. While the pan is heating, whisk together a couple of eggs, whole milk ricotta, cream as well if you’d like and your seasoning of choice such as salt and black pepper.
Once the frying pan is hot, add the whisked ricotta and egg mixture and cook until just starting to set, then add in a few handfuls of spinach and cook until done to the best texture that you like.
The creamy ricotta cheese in this recipe creates super fluffy scrambled eggs and will keep you full for hours.

5. Lemon Ricotta Mousse
Another simple, creamy mousse that is infused with the goodness of ricotta, this lemon mousse is a light keto friendly dessert that highlights the lemon and ricotta flavor match perfectly.
You simply whisk heavy cream until starting to thicken to soft peaks, then whisk in ricotta and stevia until smooth and creamy before folding through lemon juice and lemon zest until you have a creamy mousse full of lemon flavor.
You can also add in a little lemon extract to boost the lemon flavor and enhance the creaminess of ricotta cheese.

While this recipe collection includes way more sweet than savory dishes, this meal is a savory way to include ricotta, along with a few other simple ingredients, in a keto meal plan.
The cheese is used as a sauce to serve with zucchini and low carb friendly noodles in a hearty comfort food meal.
You can enjoy with ketogenic diet friendly low carb pasta such as zucchini noodles, miracle noodles or cabbage noodles, as I’ve done in the great recipe.

And finally, this low carb lemon ricotta cake has only 4 ingredients and makes an indulgent keto sweet treat that, once again, highlights the flavor match of lemon and ricotta. The cake also makes a fuss free keto cheesecake alternative.
You can adapt the recipe to your tastes by adding in extra ingredients like a little almond extract to create an Italian almond cake or swap the lemon for orange zest for an orange infused Italian ricotta cake that’s low in g net carbs.
The ingredients are simply whisked together in a large mixing bowl, then the ricotta mixture is baked until just slightly golden brown.
The best part is that you can enjoy the cake warm from the oven or cool too room temperature and then serve chilled from the fridge, making it a brilliant make ahead dessert to have ready and waiting in the fridge for you to help satisfy your sweet tooth.
