Hi,

Quick question, does anyone have any recipe ideas for desserts that do not contain artificial sweetener? I don’t really care for them. Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it sounds yummy - Whipped ricotta w/ honey and mixed berries.  Recipe included at end of post.  I think the honey would add plenty of sweetness for my taste, so I'm going go try it without the 4 tbsp. of granulated sugar.   Have you tried stevia?  I have not, but some folks who do not care for artificial sweeteners use it as an alternative.  Here's some links to information about stevia (includes link to recipes):  http://www.stevia.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia http://www.stevia.com/SteviaRecipes.asp?RCId=1

Whipped ricotta with honey and mixed berries Bon Appétit | August 2001

Cream cheese was added to the ricotta for this smooth, luscious dessert. But if you can find fresh ricotta, which is less grainy than some of the commercial types, use it and omit the cream cheese.

Makes 6 servings.

ingredients 2 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 4 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons honey 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups mixed fresh berries (such as blackberries, raspberries, and halved strawberries) 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

preparation Blend ricotta, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, honey, and vanilla in processor until smooth. Transfer to bowl. Cover bowl and refrigerate until ricotta mixture is slightly set, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Stir before using.)

Combine berries, lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in large bowl; toss to coat. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.

Divide ricotta mixture among 6 wineglasses. Top with berries and serve.

Good old fashion Peachs and Cream or Berries and Cream. Chill the cream really well and whip it just a bit to thicken it but still pourable. Ohh so good! The berries and cream are even better with some slivered almonds over top.
