Healthy and low calorie chocolate dessert recipe?!

Question

So i bought an angel food cake mix and i planned on stirring in some mini-semi sweet chocolate chips. but i do not know if that is healthy enough? because i saw on the side of the box its like enriched flour whole wheat...it uses egg whites though-so thats good.

but it also has 22 grams of sugar per serving.

is there any chocolate dessert recipe thats easy to make? i have only white flour or whatever..but i have egg whites.

thanks~

Answer 2

I use most regular desert recipes with a sugar substitute called "Splenda."  I heard it bakes well, but I haven't tried it yet and I think I will try it today as an experiment.  It has a taste so close to sugar with zero calories.  Try an angel food cake recipe from scratch with splenda instead.  If you want to do chocolate shavings on your deserts I have just tried Dove chocolates that are sugar free and they taste so good!  Five pieces are only 160 calories.  I am starting to experiment more with sugar free to not only maintain my figure, also because I recently found out I am diabetic.  I am just learning to eat an almost sugar free diet and I think diabetic recipes can help anyone who wants to cut back on sugar for any reason.  I hope I was of help.

Low Carb Delicious Fudge

Delicious Fudge

1 ½ cup heavy whipping cream

4 squares unsweetened chocolate

10 packages sweetener

½ cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup chopped pecans

1 box chocolate pudding mix

In a sauce pan on low heat combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream and the

chocolate bars.

When mixture is melted, and it looks kinda speckled and not

completely blended, remove from heat.

Add peanut butter, blend. Add

sweeteners, blend. It will look not like it's not smooth at all.

Here comes the trick. Take the mixture and put it in your food processor,

and blend. (Regular beaters might work if you don't have a food processor)

It will start looking like the smoothest chocolate you've ever seen. At this

point add the pudding mix.

Mixture will become really thick. Then start

adding the ½ cup of leftover heavy cream. Mixture will look thick yet

creamy.

Add the pecans and mix for just a second or two to incorporate them.

Lightly spray with Pam a glass dish and wipe out excess with paper towel,

pour mixture in dish and chill in refrigerator.
