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 have found a healthful chocolate fudge recipe. It is easy to make and only takes about 5 minutes. There are no added sugars or artificial sweeteners and all the fat comes from "healthy fat" sources, not man-made polyunsaturated fats and oils.
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.
You have either printed a copy of this article or taken you iPad into the kitchen because you want to make this right now. Let's get this going by gathering all the needed ingredients. First, a 3 to 4 ounce extra dark chocolate bar where the cocoa content between 70% and 85%. The higher the % the less sugar. Use 4 to 5 Tbsp of a tasty organic nut butter like almond butter, cashew butter or peanut butter.
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.
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 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.
Once everything is mixed well together, spread the mixture onto some waxed paper laid out in a baking dish. Licking the spatula and your fingers is permitted. Place it on your favorite shelf in the refrigerator to solidify and cool down. Now you have some of the healthiest chocolate fudge ever known to man!
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.
