Top off this Italian-inspired specialty with a simple strawberry sauce or just sliced strawberries.

Ingredients

Fat-free ricotta cheese

8 oz

Sugar substitute

3 tbsp(s), calorie free sweetener such as Splenda or Sweet'N Low

Almond extract

¼ tsp(s)

Mini chocolate chips

¼ cup(s)

Whole wheat tortilla

4 medium

Sweetened frozen whole strawberries

5 oz, partially thawed and pureed (1/2 a 10 oz package), or whole sliced strawberries if you prefer

Instructions

  1. Mix together ricotta cheese, sugar substitute and almond extract by hand in a large bowl until well-combined and smooth; gently fold in chocolate chips. Chill for at least 2 hours (and up to overnight); drain off any liquid.
  2. To soften tortillas, wrap them in layers of paper towels and then microwave them on high for 30 seconds.
  3. Place about 1/4 cup of cheese mixture down the center of each cooled tortilla; fold tortilla over in half (or roll up burrito-style). Drizzle each serving with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of strawberry sauce or top with fresh strawberry slices; serve immediately. =
  4. Yields 1 cannoli per serving.

Notes

Add more sugar substitute if you prefer your desserts very sweet. And feel free to top the quesadillas with freshly sliced strawberries when they’re in season. Or you can use a combination of pureed and sliced strawberries.
