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 with avoiding the junk-food type of desserts. I found a recipe from a Certified Nutrition Specialist who will make you happy eating this delicious treat without adding 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.
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
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.
Ok, let's locate the last ingredients of this masterpiece and add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries or raisins and a little stevia to slightly sweeten our fudge. Stevia is natural, non-caloric sweetener and does not contain artificial sweeteners.
Put your cooking apron on or call the dessert chef whichever is most convenient. 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.
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. Congratulations, your have prepared the healthiest chocolate fudge ever known to man or woman!
It may be in the back of your mind to devour this dish for dinner because I said it was so healthful. Don't. Even though this is super healthy, you must keep the portions small because this is a calorie-dense snack. It is still lower in sugar and calories than any other fudge and significantly more nutritious.
