These were surprisingly good and very simple to make. I wasn't sure about the idea of the ricotta cheese, but it really did taste like cheesecake to me. Give them a try!

I substituted cottage cheese and used no cracker. Less jelly next time. I needed a bite to eat to take bedtime meds.

Hi, the carb count is confusing. 42 and then 3 which is it?

For Shirley - 1 carbohydrate serving = 15 grams. So 42 grams = 3 carbohydrate servings. With the crackers this is a high carb snack for me.
