Speaking of Ricotta cheese, I make "fake" pancakes by mixing a couple of eggs and a couple of scoops of the cheese. Fry it in the skillet like pancakes, top with butter and sugar free syrup--almost zero carbs and delicious.
Some people add cinnamon or sugar substitute and skip the syrup.

Also speaking of Zeppole I haven’t found one yet in this area of Florida. There’s a lot to be said about nice weather but can’t beat the food up north, especially the Italian variety.
