Description:
|
Super quick, low-carb dessert that eats like ice cream. Best served chilled.
This is a version of Chef Andre Bienvenue's Almond Ricotta Creme from the South Beach Diet.
I'm adding ground flax seed to add more fiber without carbs. I am also omitting the almonds since I'm adding the flax seed.
This is such an easy dessert and you get all that fiber without the carbs. It's a guilt-free treat. It only has 2-4 carbs per serving but it's actually quite satisfying.
