I would make this, but I'd probably have to eat the entire pan. Could you pass along that icing recipe? Those were so good, and seem like a relatively easy dessert to make for a potluck or company.
For the sake of balance, here's a chocolate "dessert" I've been making a lot lately — essentially hot cocoa, but without so many calories! Sort of scratches the itch for a sweet something to end the day without getting a sugar/carb buzz right before bed:
- Roughly 1 TBSP cocoa powder
- Optional: almond milk, skim milk, light coconut milk, etc. (something to add a bit of creaminess)
- Sweetener: you could use regular sugar for this and just use it in moderation, OR I find xylitol works well, doesn't have a funky aftertaste, and is good for your teeth!. (Some people use stevia or flavor drops.) The idea is that you're not using nearly as much sweetener as pre-made cocoa mixes would include.
- Boiling water
Just put the first three ingredients in a mug, then pour in the boiling water and stir. Voila!
Another idea if it's nearing bedtime and you've got the munchies: just make a cup of hot tea. It'll keep your hands and your mouth busy, and (be sure it's caffeine-free) should help you feel ready to go to sleep.
Hope you all are having a good Wednesday! Let me know if you need any other recipes that mostly just involve boiling water!!
