I have been low-carbing for years (on and off) and always just feel so much better when I am not elbow deep in a bag of Doritos.

For the days I need a sweet, I use the following recipe:

1/2 c. whole milk ricotta cheese
1 pkt Splenda
1 TBS vanilla extract

Whip it all in a bowl and its almost like pudding.

I've also used other extract flavors - almond, orange, coconut.

Here is a link to the nutritional value of the ricotta:

I have found that website to be a godsend when looking for nutritional value information.
