Ingredients

  • 20 oz. pkg. frozen sweet potato tots thawed
  • non-stick spray
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 oz. neufchatel cheese softened

  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice

  • Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Spray a 12 muffin tin with non-stick spray.
