Heavy Cream Substitute

2 Tablespoons Minute Tapioca
1 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Low Fat Ricotta Cheese

Put the tapioca and water into a small sauce pan and let it sit for 5 minutes. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the ricotta cheese to the tapioca mixture. Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until creamy (about 1 minute). Cover and refrigerate until room temperature, or keep chilled until ready to use. Use in place of recipes calling for heavy cream.
