LOW Carb: T's Lemon Zest Ricotta Dessert - go to your happy place and veg-out with this...

Lemon Zest Ricotta Dessert

 Ingredients:
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 squeeze of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 packages sugar substitute (I use Splenda)

Your choice of fruit (preferrably berries since they aren't high in carbs and will look really nice)

Preparation:

Whip the Ricotta and the heavy cream together until well whipped.  Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a "individual" bowls. Put in refrigerator. It's important that this has time enough to "set-up" and become firm. (generally like 2 hours)  Serve with your choice of fruit that has been pureed.

Makes 2 servings.  about 2 carbs per serving (that doesn't include your berries since I don't know what fruit you're gonna use)...but berries aren't bad anyway... or you could serve this without the fruit topping...

If you dig this, please comment....it lets me know that you want me to post more low carb recipes that keep us and our families skinny...

And yes....I forgot something....  Put some whip cream on the top of this...  it tastes so good.  Can't believe I forgot that.

 I just found this Forum today. I usually read the VSG forum. I LOVE your recipes! I think I went back a week or so and copied all of them down to try. I will let you know how I like them. Thanks for being so creative!

Can't wait to try this. 2 servings is perfect......Thanks again

Man, does this sound good!

I've also combined ricotta with Splenda and various flavors of SF syrup (caramel, vanilla, etc.).  Tastes like cheesecake to me.

That's the greatest thing about living a low carb lifestyle....you can make a great cheesecake and still be ok with how it tastes!  I didn't put any of my cheesecake recipes on here because ifigured enough people knew how to make them low carb......HA!

I love what you have posted--how about one cheesecake recipe--I am new here and need to start a collection of my own.  Thanks.

I am so excited about this and I want more cheesecake recipes.
