Welcome to lizzycooks!

I love to cook. I collect recipes and cookbooks, enjoy food photography, and adore trying new restaurants. All of this food love inspired me to start this blog where I share my favorite recipes, cooking tips, and other fun stuff. Enjoy your food!

Chocolate Pudding for Grown-Ups

This stuff is pretty good when your sweet tooth is acting up AND it's healthy. I modified it from a Dr. Weil recipe and he says, "this high-calcium "pudding" has the benefits of cocoa and cinnamon — and the flavor of Mexico. Experiment with different brands of ricotta — they have different textures and flavors." Who wants pudding?!

1 cup low fat ricotta cheese
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Scoop into small dessert dishes and serve.
