Your in for a treat today because I’m going to share with you one of dirty little secrets that I have never shared with anyone before. I’m talking about a delicious dessert that satisfies my sweet tooth and suplies me with lot’s of quality nutrients.
This dessert is a very healthy version of a peanut butter fudge. If you don’t like either the nuts or the butter, it’s not a problem because you can leave them out and just have a chocolate version which is just as delicious. Make sure you take notes of this recipe as there are certain ingreadients in this fudge that make it a lot more nutritional for you.
This fudge is not low calorie per se’, as I’m not a miracle worker, but it is full of essential healthy fats, protein, tons of antioxidants,relatively low in sugar, and it also contains a decent amount of fiber as well. I would really recommed this snack as it help curn your appetite, it fuels your muscles, fills your body with anti-oxidants, and it it stops that sweet tooth dead in it’s tracks. If your anything like me and you have a real temprimental sweet tooth then this recipe is worth its weight in gold.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup organic coconut milk (make sure you get the organic version as well, the watered down version of this is not going to cut it)
- 1 bar of extra dark chocolate that has at least 70% cocoa.
- 4-5 tablespoons of peanut butter or any other nut butter of your liking.
- 3/4 cup of raisins (which is totally upto you but it seems to go really well with it)
- 1/2 cup of whole peice almonds (also optional, but again, it’s really nice with them)
- 2 Tbsp of raw wheat germ
- 2 Tbsp of rice bran (you will probably have to visit a health stor for this)
- 1/2 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
- And last of all, a little stevia powder to sweeten it and add a bit more flavour.
Now lets get to the cooking part……
Start off by adding the organic coconut milk and the vanilla extract to a small pan and place on a very low heat. Now, break up the dark chocolate itno small chunks and add them into the pan. Add the nut butter of your choice into the pan with the stevia as well, and stir continuously until you get a smooth mixture.
Now thats down to smooth mixture you can add the raisins, almonds, wheat germ, and the rice bran. Keep stirring until they are fully blended in with the rest of the mixture. When thats done you can spoon the fudge mixture into some waxed paper in a dish and place it in the fridge for around half an hour or until it cools and hardens. Remember to cover the mixture in the dish so that it does’nt dry out when cooling.
Enjoy small squares for dessert and for small snacks throughout the day. This is about as good as it gets for a healthy yet delicious treat!
