If you are on the lookout for a delicious and healthful dessert, today is your lucky day. Most of us have a sweet tooth and struggle to avoid the junk-food desserts. I found a recipe (from a Certified Nutrition Specialist) that will make you happy eating this delicious treat without adding body fat.
If you have a sweet tooth, you may have already searched for recipes and foods that might satisfy you. Many leave unanswered questions regarding the effect on your waistline and you have to avoid these unknown foods. Some recipes have reduced the fat but not the sugar. Some the opposite. Finding the "perfect dessert" is similar to finding the Fountain of Youth. Bending the rules allows for artificial sweeteners instead of sugar but this is not recommended.
You know the feeling when you have found something so good by accident and can't wait to enjoy it. Well, today you have discovered a healthful chocolate fudge recipe. With your adroit culinary skills, you can put together a healthful, delicious chocolate fudge. What fun and it only takes about 5 minutes.
Nutritionist Geary is the creator of this delightful dish: the chocolate-peanut butter-fudge. If the peanuts are a problem there are substitutes which are of equal value. It tastes as good as the name.
Start with getting all the ingredients on the countertop. First, a 3 to 4 ounce extra dark chocolate bar where the cocoa content is at least 70%. The higher the % the less sugar is in the bar. Take 4 to 5 Tbsp of a tasty organic nut butter. I have found many flavors work well. Try peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter for example
Then pour 2/3 to 3/4 of a cup of organic coconut milk. This milk is a great source of healthy saturated fats. Get 3 Tbsp of rice bran and 2 Tbsp of oat bran, which provides healthy fiber. Now mix in 1/2 cup of raw pecans, almonds, or walnuts and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. If you have read some of my other articles on nutrition and reducing belly fat, you know that the nuts provide healthy fats, antioxidants, and a whole range of vitamins and minerals.
Your delightful dessert only needs a couple more ingredients. Find 1/2 cup of dried cranberries or raisins and a little stevia. Stevia is a natural, non-caloric sweetener without sugar and artificial sweeteners.
You are now ready to call the dessert chef. Phone off the hook and start the flames. Start with the coconut milk, nut butter, and chocolate bar in a medium saucepan and put it on the lowest heat possible. Continuously stir as the chocolate, coconut milk, and nut butter melts together. Once these melt together add in all of the other ingredients and stir together very well.
Take the well-mixed fudge and spread it into a shallow baking dish lined with waxed paper. After licking your fingers put this lovely concoction on the eye-level shelf of the refrigerator. It has to cool and solidify before you attack it. Congratulations, your have prepared the healthiest chocolate fudge ever known to man or woman!
Keep in mind that you still need to keep your serving portions small because this is still a calorie-dense snack even though it is super-healthy. The good news is that it is lower in sugar and calories than typical fudge and has loads more nutrition than any typical fudge. Not the Fountain of Youth but you were more interested in a delicious fudge.
