To use Ricotta Con Latte, simply drain any excess liquid before incorporating it into your recipes. For baked goods like cheesecakes or cannoli, it provides a creamy base that holds its structure well. In savory applications, such as lasagna or stuffed shells, it blends seamlessly with other ingredients, adding moisture and a delicate dairy flavor. It can also be enjoyed simply spread on toast or crackers, perhaps with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of herbs.

It typically has a finer curd and less moisture than some lower-fat or pre-crumbled varieties, making it ideal for applications where a smooth texture is desired.
