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.
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.
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.
The is the famous Geary chocolate-peanut butter-fudge recipe. If that doesn't sound delicious wait until you discover all the ingredients. If you are allergic to peanuts you will be able to pick a substitute.
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
Find and 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.
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.
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!
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.
