Have you ever tried low fat ricotta cheese mixed with unsweetened powdered cocoa and artificial sweetener? Add a drop of two of vanilla or almond flavoring if you want. Top with sugar free whipped cream, if you want.

This is a concoction I learned about while following Atkins. It satisfies the craving for something rich.

Another good one is fresh berry parfait (any kind of berries) layered with sugar free vanilla pudding or vanilla yogurt (make your own from plain and add vanilla and Splenda) and topped with sugar free whipped cream. You could crumble up a graham cracker or two between the layers, if you want.

This is making me hungry.

I’m trying to remember if I even like ricotta cheese as I don’t usually buy it. I make (made) lasagne with it.

The second suggestion sounds great! Thanks!

I think my wife made something like that parfait for a Christmas party her Dad went to last year, everyone loved it.

I'll try to find the recipe, think it was in a diabetic cook book.
