Ricotta Pound Cake Birthday Bites

Ricotta Pound Cake Birthday Bites

If you’ve got a special occasion coming up and not a lot of time on your hands, we’ve got your back with these Ricotta Poundcake Birthday Bites!

These festive little balls of deliciousness only take 10 minutes to prep and an hour in the fridge to chill.

Vanilla Shakeology and ricotta cheese provide that rich, creamy pound cake flavor, with lemon zest for a zingy kick.

For celebratory flair, we rolled these bites in shredded coconut dyed in various colors; you can use as many (or as few!) colors as you desire — it’s your party!

Pro tip: To make your bites look extra fancy, divide the coconut by the number of food colorings you have and only do one color per bag.

  • 1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. coconut sugar
  • ¼ tsp. finely grated lemon peel (lemon zest)

  3. Add Shakeology, ricotta cheese, extract, sugar, and lemon peel to a separate small mixing bowl; mix until well combined.
