Today over at
LifeasMom,
The Ultimate Recipe Swap is all about keeping Cooool. Since I began adjusting my diet to include less sugar and simple carbs, finding something to satisfy my sweet tooth has been somewhat challenging. I LOVE ice cream but the fat content alone will do my cholesterol no favors. So, the search was on for something cold and creamy to replace my beloved dessert.
This sublime little diddy was an answer to my prayers. The creamy texture of the ricotta layered with crisp fresh lemon and a back splash of vanilla. Topped with fresh fruit macerated with a little Grand Marnier...Sweet!
So give it a whirl. Absolutely lovely dish and perfect for a hot summer evening. Head on over to
LifeasMom for more great recipes.
Celebrate the Feast!
