I didn’t care for the taste or consistency of this at all. I tend to use ricotta cheese in dishes like lasagna, but thought it would somehow be good with the other ingredients in this parfait. I completely wasted my money.

Love the idea of the recipe. Not crazy about the ricotta mixed with yogurt. I eliminate the ricotta and just use Greek yogurt. My husband loves it this way. It’s now our go to meal for the morning

Wow! Surprisingly good! I have only had ricotta in lasagna or pasta dishes and never in a sweeter dish but these parfaits are delicious! I will be making these again! Great taste and texture. Thanks Giada!

Who would of thought mixing ricotta and yogurt, not me. Thanks for the idea! Did the recipe just little bit different; stevia and cinnamon. Husband said, “It taste like cannoli filling”, and he is Italian. Now,I can have my cannoli filling w/o the guilt and my favorite granola. It is for breakfast.

This is such a quick and delicious breakfast. I like using fresh blueberries instead of the preserves.

Absolutely delicious!!! one can add some fresh cut fruit as a layer which makes this recipe even better… I tried experimenting with mango and it tasted yum..
