hi i live in india and just love this blog - learnt to make so many things from you all :) i really want to try this - but ricotta is very very expensive here - can i use hung curd instead or paneer [ an indian cheese we make by curdling milk with lemon and draining out the whey] also i want to gift my stollen to a friend who doesnt eat eggs! [ i know i know this is getting more complicated] could i use banana as a substitute - ive read on some blogs that bananas can be used instead of eggs in cakes...is that true? appreciate your recipes and your help with this, nina Nina, a definite yes to the paneer. But banana instead of eggs -I'm just not sure. All I can say is give it a try - it's given as a possibility in this list of egg substitutes. Thanks for connecting from India! PJH
