I'm not doing South Beach but it doesn't take an idiot to know that a rich, chewy brownie isn't good for you!! This was so good & was a fantastic substitute for such a craving! I am giving it 4 stars only because I used 1/4 cup fat free cottage cheese (I never have ricotta in the house! I know, irony!) & used the same amts for eveything else. I didn't use any expresso powder & topped it with half a sliced banana. The mini choc chips (I used 1/4 tsp) were a great touch; gave bursts of chocolate as I ate. Thank you so much for sharing this.

    I love this dessert. I substitute cinnamon for the espresso powder and it's delicious! However, it really does depend what kind of ricotta you use. Some are very grainy and bitter, others are creamy. If you find you don't like it the first time you try it, shop around until you find a ricotta choose you like.

    This is SO GOOD. I did make some changes: added a bit more Equal and used a whole teaspoon of chocolate chips. I didn't have any espresso powder, so I used a little of the ground coffee that was left in my coffee grinder for the coffee flavor. Almond extract works great in this too! Mounds Ricotta Creme!
