4 LBS Ricotta cheese leftover - what to make?

I've been conscripted to bring dessert to a party this weekend so I will likely try at least one of each of the 2 cheesecakes suggested here. Thanks all.

It only uses a cup of ricotta, but make this http://www.food52.com/recipes/10436_louisas_cake you won't regret it.

To follow up. Some shelters accept cooked food. Some do not.
Here's a good starting point. http://www.homelessshelterdirectory.org/
If they accept cooked food. Use a foil tray and reheating instructions with date when you cooked it taped on top.

One of our local shelter accepts cooked food, and I used to take stuff down there after the Pharma Reps catered meals for the Dept. (much to the evil eyes of the leftover vultures in the office). Our local AIDS hospice also accepted cooked foods.

Great advice, Sam1148 ! With spring garden planting around the corner consider planting a row of vegetables to donate to your local shelter!

Donate it and the ingredients for a lasagna to a local shelter with a kitchen. Most accept sealed food products.

This is what I want to make next time I go on a ricotta binge . . . Gina DePalma's ricotta cheesecake (from Bon Appetit magazine). http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2011/05/ricotta-cheesecake

Sweet ricotta cookies! I couldn't find the exact recipe that I use for these, but this one is really close:

The ricotta almost melts into the sugar cookie-like dough and becomes a very light cookie. They're delicious.

Definitely make these! http://www.food52.com/recipes/10541_curds_whey_biscuits_with_infused_honey_ricotta_spread

the scones are neat, but the honey-lemon-rosemary-lavender ricotta spread is amazing!

Cheesecake! YUM.

Have a food sealer? Portion, seal, and freeze it. Works great!

you can freeze ricotta, just in case. otherwise, you can make a bunch of ricotta/gnocchi and freeze them as well.
