After reviewing many articles, I found some excellent advice from a Certified Nutrition Specialist. Most of these CNS are trying to get you to eat less, watch your calories, and make life miserable. They have your best interest at heart but perhaps lack imagination. But, I found a really healthful dessert that will make you smile and not add body fat.
In your search for recipes and healthful desserts, you often find tempting dishes but are not sure as to the effect on your waistline. Some recipes have too much sugar and reduced fat while other have just the reverse. Never a perfect combination. Finding the "perfect dessert" is like discovering the Fountain of Youth. There is always the temptation to bend the rules and allow the artificial sweeteners instead of sugar but you know better than to give in to this.
I am going to give you, for free, a healthful chocolate fudge recipe. If you are reasonably adept in the kitchen, making it should only take you about 5 minutes to pull together the ingredients and get this delicious dish in the refrigerator. The fudge contains healthful sources of fat and almost no sugar or artificial sweetener.
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.
I understand you want to know how to prepare this so let's start by getting all the ingredients together. Select a 3 to 4 ounce extra dark chocolate bar where the cocoa content exceeds 70%. The greater the % of cocoa the lower the % of sugar. Take 4 to 5 Tbsp of a tasty organic nut butter. I have found many flavors work well. Try almond butter, peanut butter or cashew butter.
Next pour 2/3 to 3/4 of a cup of organic coconut milk. This milk is a great source of healthy saturated fats. Add 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.
There are just a couple more ingredients to add to this masterpiece. Lets get 1/2 cup of dried cranberries or raisins and a little stevia. Stevia is a natural, non-caloric sweetener without sugar or artificial sweeteners.
You are ready for a prime time cooking show. Chef hat on and 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 until it is thoroughly mixed.
Get your favorite shallow baking dish and line it with some wax paper. Then spread the well-mixed fudge into the dish. Licking the spatula and your fingers after the fudge is transferred is permitted. Move everything in the refrigerator out of the way so that you can place this soon-to-be-eaten dessert on a shelf at eye level. It needs to solidify before you eat it. You get the Gold medal for preparing the most healthful chocolate fudge on the planet.
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.
