I've been trying to find ways to do the whole 'milk and honey' thing for a ceremony. This rocks! The honey has a wonderful tanginess that offsets the cheese wonderfully. I didn't have Ricotta on hand, and wasn't positive by what you meant by 'curd cheese' so I used some cheddar curds I had on hand. It was probably a bit different than the original recipe - but YUMMY!
