Another easy non-bake chocolate dessert recipe

In my quest to look for low-fat and sort of healthy chocolate dessert (which is very far and few in between, if you ask me!), I found quite a few relatively easy and healthy way of creating our own healthy desserts…well, at least as healthy as it could possibly be.

Here is one of them:

Ingredients

Low-fat Creamy Chocolate Dessert

A cup of low-fat Ricotta cheese

A tablespoon of dark cocoa powder

Two tablespoons of chocolate sauce

A dash of vanilla essence

Instructions:

Just mix all the ingredients together until it is well combined. You can sprinkle some chocolate shavings on the dessert before serving.

It tastes almost like the real chocolate ice cream if served cold. I particularly liked this recipe as it is very easy and can be whipped up within minutes. No hassle and no cooking required!
