Chocolate

Most recipes that I come up with are usually for only 2 servings. This serves a double purpose:

1. If it's really good, and I get carried away, then the *damage* isn't as horrific as scarfing, say,6 servings of cake, muffins or whatever.

2. If it's really bad, and I end up tossing it in the trash, then the loss of my LC ingredients isn't quite as costly.

Anyway, I digress...

Several weeks ago, DH asked if I would bake him a chocolate cake. Since I don't buy, use, or keep the standard boxed cake mixes in the house anymore, I decided to try and make a LC (2 servings) chocolate cake that would lure my DH over to the *dark side* of LC!!

So, after a few tweeks, I came up with 2 different cakes from essentially the same basic batter.

Tasty Low Carb Treat

A lovely low-carb rendition of a mocha shake.

Some yummy peanut butter hot chocolate to satisfy your sweet tooth. Mmmm, chocolatey!

This is a KILLER recipe for many muffin variations. Tonight I succeeded in making the all-time best low carb chocolate muffins you'll ever taste! This recipe can also make blueberry or raspberry muffins as well.... Versatile!

A very easy and delicious cookie recipe..One batch yields 3 dozen which makes them a nice treat for family and friends.

Sacrifice the carbs without sacrificing the taste...This cake is even better revised so us "Low Carbers" can enjoy it!

This fudge is as close to the real thing as it gets...You won't believe it's low carb..It's THAT heavenly!!!

A nice little cake for 2 or three that can be made in a hurry. Make one for youself when others are having regular cake at a celebration!

I'm NOT a cook, but even I was able to make these yummy candies! This recipe is from one of the Atkins books, but I made a batch today and my husband and I LOVE them! I'll be trying lots of variations of these truffles in the coming weeks.

Rich chocolate creamy like pudding. 2 grams carb per serving. Very easy to prepare.

This a great dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings! Great with canned whipped cream!

This is very tasty. I added a little more sweetner by 1/4 and liked it better. If you have a very sweet tooth like me, it's great.

Eight generous servings at about 3.5 carbs per serving.

This is delicious with the candy bars. No need to add any sweetner.

If you like Reese's PB cups, you'll love these quick and easy low-carb crispy chocolate candy treats. My family asks for these over and over.

Chocolate Mousse w/Tofu

This is a low carb version of a recipe in Betty Crocker's Cooky Book. In my attempt to come up with a low carb version I've tried many variations: using Splenda, adding glycerin, adding lecithin, using less flour, using different low-carb flours, etc.

I would imagine that Splenda could be substituted for the Steel's Nature Sweet Crystals but I haven't tried it yet.

Eat what is left in the bowl and lick the spatula and beaters clean. (You don't want to waste any!) But don't forget to count the carbs - maybe about a 1/4 cup left.

Easy tasty baked cheesecake.

Being a confessed chocoholic, I adapted a recipe I recently received to come up with these delicious chocolate mousse frozen treats. We had a surprise birthday party last night after church for our pastor, so I took these to have as an alternative to birthday cake.

Chocolate with LOTS of protein!

If you don't have a springform pan you can use a 10" pie plate but you will need to put a buttered collar on the pie plate. This cheese cake rises like a souffle.

You could also use this as cheesecake filling and top it with whipped cream.

This an awesome treat - just have to watch you don't eat too many

The three C's are Chewy Chocolate Coconut. If you like chocolate and coconut, look no further.
