Ricotta, Berries, and Dark Chocolate

Ingredients

Serves: 1

3/4 cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup plain ricotta cheese
1-2 oz 70-80% dark chocolate
Optional: Maple syrup

Instructions

• If using frozen berries, begin by thawing them in the microwave. Place in a small bowl and top with ricotta cheese. Break up dark chocolate and sprinkle on top. The juice from the frozen berries may be enough to sweeten the ricotta cheese. However, if you are using fresh berries or just like a little extra sweetness, drizzle 1-2 tsp of maple syrup over the berries, ricotta, and chocolate. Enjoy!
