Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 container part—skim ricotta cheese -- (8—ounce)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 pints fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt -- softened
nutmeg -- (optional)
toasted almonds -- (optional)

1. Combine ricotta, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and
nutmeg in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth, about 5 seconds. Add the frozen yogurt and pulse to combine, about 5 seconds longer.

2. Transfer the mixture to a 9xl3-inch metal baking pan, or a
shallow plastic tub and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze
until partially frozen, about 3 hours.

3. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until almost
smooth. Do not overprocess. Return the mixture to the pan, cover, and freeze until firm, about 3 hours longer. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften before serving.

For individual treats, you can freeze the tortoni in paper cups.
Divide the mixture into twelve 4-ounce paper cups and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours, or overnight. Before serving, remove the cup and top with a sprinkle of nutmeg and toasted sliced almonds, if desired.
