Satisfy your sweet tooth without going overboard with these delicious, fancy strawberry ricotta cups for dessert!
The Frenchman has a serious sweet tooth. That should go without saying, to be honest. However, the amount of sugar he would consume on a daily basis would put anyone under a serious need for an insulin shot.
When we have a family gathering, it almost always includes 5-7 courses. Soup, salad, bread, main meal, cheese plate and dessert with coffee are common place. This means that I wind up making most of the meal keto friendly so I don’t have to cook 2 whole meals.
Except dessert. Most of the time, dessert HAS to be made with full sugar to satisfy the Frenchman. I can’t get away with anything there. He KNOWS the difference between sugar and stevia or erythritol.
However, these strawberry ricotta cups, made with erythritol would even pass the Frenchman’s approval.
Most of us wouldn’t think of ricotta cheese for dessert, but it’s easily taken from savory to sweet. It’s not heavy, so it won’t leave you feeling overly indulged, but it’s flavor will definitely make you feel satisfied!
Mixing ricotta cheese with a bit of sweetener, vanilla, and strawberries gives you an easy to make dessert that can go from simple and snacky to elegant easily. Just a little bit of these strawberry ricotta cups is enough to finish off any meal with a bang! Only 5 ingredients means that it’s simple and easy enough to make even on a busy night, too!
