A Chocolate Utopia! Cocotopia Product Review

Cocotopia: (n); utopic chocolate world at your fingertips

Love the Packaging!
This is what Cocotopia claims to have created. It sounds simple, delightful while also a big ambiguous.

What, pray tell, does a utopic chocolate world involve?

Well in this case, it involves chocolate truffles. Chocolate truffles that have the rich decadence that we know and love from these cocoa confections but with 45% fewer calories than a standard chocolate truffle.

These chocolate truffles clock in at 40 calories a pop and just 3g sugar. However, the ingredient list does contain a few additives such as soy lecithin and PGPR so chocolate purists/paleo/clean eaters may shy away from these.

The important thing to know is How do they taste?

I'm happy to say the claims are true. It's smooth with a good chocolate flavor. It's not a very dark chocolate but I wouldn't call it milk chocolate either. It had a good texture with a harder chocolate shell and smooth, creamy interior. I think it does well as a basic chocolate truffle.

 I enjoyed these truffles and look forward to watching them grow - I hope more flavors are on the horizon!

Overall, these are a good option for a lower calorie/lower sugar chocolate, however if you follow a paleo or clean diet, this may not be the truffle for you.

Would you try these? What does a utopic chocolate world mean to you?

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
