<\/a>Time to try that chocolate mousse recipe I found on Pinterest. It\u2019s made with coconut milk and sugar substitute.\u00a0 This recipe has the earmarks of a winner.\u00a0 The main component is coconut milk, which is nutrient dense but is low\/moderate on the glycemic index.\u00a0 The cocoa powder is very low glycemic and the alternative sweetener I used has an index number of zero.\u00a0 And it is easy to make.\u00a0 It also makes a great low-glycemic, sugar-free frosting.<\/p>\nSo what went wrong with my plan?\u00a0 It was so good I ate the whole thing by myself in one sitting.\u00a0 Not so smart.<\/p>\n
Here\u00a0is the recipe, which I am keeping in my \u201cwinner\u201d file. However, remember that eating too much of it makes it high glycemic and high calorie.\u00a0 So don\u2019t do that!<\/p>\n
\u00a0Chocolate Mousse\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nIngredients:<\/p>\n
1 can coconut milk<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup plus 1 T cocoa powder<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n
sweetener to taste<\/p>\n
Put the coconut milk in a bowl and leave it uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.\u00a0 It should get very thick.\u00a0 You may have to drain off any watery liquid.\u00a0 Whip in cocoa, vanilla, and sweetener and divide into four serving dishes or use it to frost cupcakes.<\/p>\n
Thank you to http:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com for the recipe and the picture.<\/p>\n
Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
