Breakfast "Pudding"
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
3 Tbs. heavy cream
1 egg
2-3 Tbs. flax meal (ground flax seeds)
sugar-free maple syrup, Davinici/Torani, or Splenda
cinnamon
Combine ricotta, cream and egg in microwave-safe bowl and mix well. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Mixture should thicken to cream of wheat consistency. (You can also do it on the stove, stirring constantly until mix thickens, but it makes a messy pan!)
Add flax meal, sweetner of choice (Log Cabin sugar-free syrup is WONDERFUL), and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and stir well. Eat while warm.
This is good on cold mornings... just like a bowl of oatmeal! Add a little cocoa and chocolate extract, and it makes for a good warm dessert, too.
