Italian Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with Blackberry Coulis
An Italian cheesecake is typically made with ricotta cheese. It is not overly sweet and slightly drier than a traditional cheesecake. This cake is best made the day before you want to serve it. The Blackberry Coulis really adds a nice touch. You can use frozen raspberries if you can find blackberries.

Wildberry Pie Oat Bars
I really do love anything berry but especially when they come guilt free. These decadent bars are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and incredibly delicious. They are not too sweet, just the way I like them and a great power snack. Feel free to make just blueberry or raspberry bars by subbing frozen or fresh raspberries or blueberries.
