Weekend indulgence - faux maritozzo 🤭
—
Maritozzo is an Italian cream bun, normally filled with whipped cream. However, I swapped the whipped cream with ricotta cheese, which added proteins to this meal, and mixed in some peanut butter. 😋
P.s. Did you know that the protein in ricotta cheese is mostly whey (a milk protein that is easily absorbed and contains essential amino acids)
