After reviewing many articles, I found some excellent advice from a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS). Most 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 reduced fat but too much sugar while others 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.
This recipe was created by nutritionist Geary. He calls it: chocolate-peanut butter-fudge. Just the name might cause you to salivate. If you have a peanut allergy don’t worry you can substitute some other ingredients.
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!
I know you won’t forget it is there, but please remember to keep your portions small because this dessert is a calorie-dense snack. It remains a super healthy dessert because it does not contain much sugar and it is very nutritious.
