SARASOTA'S EASY MOJITO FREEZE

Steps:

• Pretzels -- I just crushed mine in a mini food processor, but using a baggie and a mallet or rolling pin works just as well. Just make sure to end up with a fine texture.
• Crust -- Use a 9" round pan for this recipe and line with plastic wrap. Then in a small bowl, mix the pretzel crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom of the pan. I like to use the bottom of a glass to press the crust down good. Freeze until ready to use.
• Filling -- Beat the cream cheese, sugar, zest, juice and mint with a mixer until well blended. Then fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping. Spread it over the pretzel crust and use a spatula to smooth out the top.
• Freeze -- At least 4 hours.
• Serve -- The plastic wrap makes it easy to lift right out of the pan and slide on to a plate. Let it set 10-15 minutes to soften a little and then top with the remaining whipped topping in the center, a fresh lime slice and a sprig of mint for the perfect summertime dessert.
• ENJOY!

SARASOTA'S RICOTTA AND CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce -- In a blender, add the ricotta, corn starch and pulse a couple times until smooth. Slowly add in the chicken broth until creamy.
• Cheese -- Transfer the ricotta sauce to a small sauce pan and heat to medium low heat, add in the cheese and cook until the cheese is melted. It will take approximately 5 minutes. DO NOT let it come to a boil.
• NOTE: Make this ahead and refrigerate, then just slowly reheat when ready to use.
