Chocolate Chip Stuffed Strawberries

5 large strawberries
2 tablespoons light/low-fat ricotta cheese
1 no calorie sweetener packet, such as Stevia
1 drop vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

If you want your berries to sit upright, cut a thin slice off the bottoms so they sit flat.

Slice the stem ends off the strawberries, about a half inch, revealing an opening in each berry. Use a narrow spoon to remove about half of the flesh from inside each berry, allowing room for filling. In a small bowl, mix ricotta, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Spoon mixture into a bottom corner of a plastic Ziploc type of bag. Snip off the tip of that corner to create a small hole and squeeze the mixture into the strawberries. Top with chocolate chips.

Serving Size: 5 strawberries equal 1 serving

Number of Servings: 1
