Chocolate Heaven....

BitsyMay · 08-09-2012, 11:59 PM

So, I work nights. And I work from home. Around 2 AM it gets super quiet and I get a super case of the munchies. I decided to play around with some ingredients and I ended up whipping up a chocolate pudding/mousse type treat.

I took 2 tbs of PB2, added 1tbs water and mixed it up. Then I took a 1/2 block of baker's chocolate and plopped it on top of the PB mixture and microwaved it on medium heat until the chocolate melted. I mixed it together and added 2 pumps of Da Vinci's chocolate syrup and then added 1.5 tbs hwc. I added some Splenda (to taste) and mixed it all up until it was well blended. I put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes and all I can say is YUMMMMYYYYY! If you're ever jonesing for some chocolate, this will cure ya. I come up with 6 net carbs and just under 200 calories. If you add more hwc I am sure it would come out less like a pudding and more like a mousse, but I didn't want to go over 200 calories. It's very rich so it would be tough to over indulge with this one.

Tomorrow I might play around with the flavor a bit by adding a different syrup. I'm tempted to order some Da Vinci's Tosted Marshmallow because it sounds like it would be delicious with chocolate.

Um, YUM!! Will totally try this in the future! The only syruos I have now are vanilla and raspberry....think vanilla could work??mdoes the splenda/chocolate combo work ok? I always hear about bitterness. Thanks for the yummy idea!

I think vanilla would taste great. Raspberry would probably be yummy too! I thought the splenda tasted fine, but I actually like a bitter chocolate so you might be better using a different sweetner. I have some Truvia and may try that next time I make this.
