Vegan Paleo Chocolate Mousse

Vegan.

Paleo.

Chocolate.

Mousse.

Three Ingredients!?!

Honestly, I would have been sold at just seeing the word "Chocolate"! This mousse is so simple, how can you not make it? As an added bonus, it happens to be suitable for just about ANY diet. I love making recipes that are suitable for people with dietary restrictions because I believe no one should have to go without chocolate!

So what are you waiting for? Whip this mousse up ASAP?

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup coconut cream*
  • 2 Tbsp Vitafiber IMO powder
  • 2 Tbsp cacao
  • additional sweetener, if desired

Directions:

  1. Chill the coconut cream until it is solid. 
  2. Whip the coconut cream with a mixer. Add in the Vitafiber powder, cacao and additional sweetener if desired.
  3. If it warmed up as you whipped, simply put it back in the fridge to firm up and whip again before serving. Serve chilled and top with chocolate if desired. 
Makes 2 servings. 

*The coconut cream should be simply coconut and water in the ingredients. It is canned. There are other products that have additional ingredients - these are not the same thing. I know Trader Joe's sells the coconut cream this recipe calls for.

Do you have any dietary restrictions? How do you incorporate chocolate into your life?

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...
