  • 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Grease an 8 inch square pan. Set aside.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat ricotta cheese over medium heat. Add milk powder and stir to mix thoroughly. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until most of the liquid is evaporated. Stir frequently to avoid sticking or burning on the bottom.
