Love is in the air and Valentine’s Day is just a few days away. For those of you who, like me, are watching their girlish figures this dessert recipe is for you! These chocolate ricotta stuffed strawberries are not only delicious, they’re filling too! They’ll satisfy even the biggest sweet tooth.
The strawberries at my local Costco looked absolutely amazing this week. So I knew I was either going to dip a few in chocolate or come up with something creative. This was the creative option. And it took all of 10 minutes to prep and make.
Make a few for you and your significant other or a whole platter for a party! Everyone will be glad you did.

I would have never thought of using ricotta cheese. Great idea and they look yummy!
So yeah, I’m basically drooling all over my keyboard this morning. Those stuffed strawberries look so yummy.
It is a darn shame that I hate strawberries… I wonder if I could downsize and do raspberries!? That really looks yum!
I am such a fan of desserts made with Ricotta. This looks divine!
They look super yummy! I have made cheesecakes with half ricotta and they were awesome (when I was on WW) so I know these would be scrumptious!
You know I like easy and these look easy enough. Oh… and delicious! I want one right now! Who cares if I need to eat breakfast still! Strawberries make it work for breakfast, right?
Strawberries totally equal breakfast!
I never would have thought about using Ricotta! They look and sound delicious! I’ll have to try this someday.
