1/4 cup fat free ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup blackberries (fresh or frozen)

In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, lemon juice and 1/2 packet stevia. Set aside. In a third bowl microwave fresh blackberries for 30-45 seconds until slightly juicy but still intact. Stir in remaining 1/2 packet of stevia. In a serving bowl add sorghum and spread across bottom. Add ricotta, then blackberries. Garnish with lemon zest.
