LIswimmer51

So I got this recipe off Pinterest for anyone who is doing a low carb, south beach diet as I am right now.. I just tried it and figured I needed to share it... It completely broke the craving being I just started phase 1. Yes, it's high in carbs, but they are good carbs and every one of these ingredients are phase one friendly.

Mocha Ricotta Creme

1/2 Cup part-skim ricotta creme
1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (or 2 teaspoons) sugar substitute
Dash espresso powder (or finely ground coffee)
5 mini Chocolate Chips (I used regular sized ones – heck with it!)

Mix together the ricotta, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and sugar substitute in a dessert bowl. Serve chilled with a dusting of espresso powder and sprinkle with the mini Chocolate Chips.
