Instructions
Step 1
Start by crushing the sugar-free brownie cookies into fine crumbs using a blender. This will serve as the base for your dessert.
Evenly distribute the cookie crumbs into the bottoms of serving bowls or dessert cups.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese and plain yogurt in a 50/50 ratio. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Layer the cream mixture on top of the cookie base, making sure it is evenly spread.
Step 3
After the cream layer is spread, sprinkle the carob powder (or cocoa powder) evenly over the top. This will add a rich flavor and a lovely appearance.
Next, place the blackberries over the carob layer. You can arrange them in any decorative way you prefer.
Step 4
Place the assembled desserts in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for a few hours. This will help the flavors meld together and the dessert to set properly.
When ready, serve chilled and enjoy this deliciously healthy treat with friends or family!
