Yum! Did this with homemade ricotta and natural yogurt. I also whizzed a few spinach leaves in as I had some to use up. Delicious with toast!!

This was so good! I had to use buttermilk and soft cheese because my husband ate all the sour cream without telling me and it was still so so so yummy! Well worth trying.
