Recipes Dessert Italian Sugar-free

Every now and then I spend a whole day in the kitchen inventing and making treats. Since it had been a while since I made a real dessert (not a pie or something similar), I decided to do something fun with that. I think coffee and desserts go really well together, and this delicious sugar-free dessert with ricotta and coffee gives you a touch of Italy. Not too heavy, pure flavours and thanks to the ricotta it's a low-carb recipe.

How to make a sugar-free dessert with ricotta and coffee?

Make a cup of coffee (lungo) of about 120 ml. Stir the agar agar into it, divide between two pretty glasses and place in the fridge to set. This will take about 20 minutes.
Put the ricotta together with the instant espresso, cinnamon, vanilla extract and stevia into a food processor and blend well. Of course, you can also do this by hand.
Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form and you can hold the bowl upside down. Gently fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture so it becomes nicely airy.
Divide the ricotta mixture between the two glasses with the coffee. Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder or some shaved chocolate. Enjoy!
