NOTE:

  • You can make this cream the day before so that it stays in the refrigerator until tomorrow.

  • If you don't have Philadelphia or ricotta cheese, you can use 150 ml cooking cream.

  • It would be good if you don't leave anything for tomorrow, so even if you have something left over, you can eat it in the evening, covered on room temperature.
