This high-calcium "pudding" has the benefits of cocoa and cinnamon - and the flavor of Mexico. Experiment with different brands of ricotta - they have different textures and flavors.

2 tbsp Cocoa powder

1/2 tsp Vanilla

1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon

Preparation

1. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.

This makes 2 servings and I calculate 160 cals/ serving. Careful not to eat it all or you'll get 320 cals!
