Healthy Ricotta Brownies

These Decadent Flourless Desserts Feature a Cheesecake Base

— October 18, 2015 — Lifestyle
For foodies looking for a healthier sweet treat option, these flourless desserts fuse together both cheesecake and brownies to create a deliciously sweet and wholesome snack. The brownies are made using almond meal instead of conventional flower and ricotta cheese instead of cream cheese as lighter, healthier alternatives.

To cut down on calories these brownies are made using wholesome ingredients that are better for the body but don't skimp on flavor. The brownie batter is made from butter, almond meal, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and sugar that is then swirled in with a ricotta cheesecake mixture. The hybrid cakes end up having a elegant swirled, marbled effect to them that brings together both worlds of brownie and cheesecake in a healthier dessert alternative.
Trend Themes
1. Healthier Baking Practices - There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the healthy baking industry by creating and selling products that utilize alternative, wholesome ingredients without sacrificing taste.
