I have found a replacement for ice cream

[candi]

1/2 cup fat free ricotta
1 tablespoon slivered honey roasted almonds
2 packages splenda
1/2 tsp vanilla or maple extract
dash or two of pumpkin pie spice or a bit of cocoa

high protein
low carb

I love it!

The South Beach Diet books also have recipes for ricotta cheese as a dessert.

I will have to try that. I just started on a 40-30-30 diet and that hardest thing for me is not having a dessert after dinner.

Any other suggestions for desserts?

Well, it does sound good. But comparing to to ice cream??? Hmmm.

Okay Shannon, it's a head thing but honestly...it's really tasty and the almonds fill me up.

I did get the idea from South Beach but I think the honey roasted almonds would be considered evil on that diet
