If youre a lemon lover, you wont want to miss this one.
I love cheese but have never understood the appeal of eating it post-dinner when I am full and satisfied.
Sweets, on the other hand?

I will always have room for those!
My latest ALDI find, theEmporium Selection Baked Lemon Ricotta, is the exception to this rule.
ALDI works withAlex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation(ALSF) to raise money for childhood cancer research.

I am all for that!
What Is Baked Lemon Ricotta?
It’s a beautiful mashup between a mild, savory cheese and asweet lemon dessert.
It has a fresh aroma, givinglemon meringueor lemon shortbread vibes.
It’s also slightly spongy and sliceable but still very easy to spread.
And the flavor is really lovely.
Sweet but not cloying, with a confident lemon presence.
It would be equally as delicious on ALDI’s crisps, specifically theCranberry Sea Saltones.
It’s really enjoyable to eat simply, but I already want to explore other ways to use it.
For example, tonight, I plan to spread it on grilledsourdoughwith some honey and fresh mint or berries.
And I think my kids would enjoy it on graham crackers,shortbread cookies, or Nilla wafers.
Beyond that, it will make an incredible, sweet addition to a charcuterie or breakfast board.
It feels quite luxurious, so the $3.99 price tag feels very much worth it.
If lemon isn’t your jam, ALDI also carries a chocolate chip version.
For me, though, the lemon is transcendent.
I am officially stocking up on multiples for all of my summer hosting.
