Hi Everybody,
I'm just bringing forward a recipe I posted a couple of years ago...and tweaking it a bit for an update (better coconut oil / chocolate ratios and including a net carb count this time).
Here's the "magic" ratio: One tablespoon of coconut oil (the kind that gets solid) per one ounce of unsweetened bakers chocolate. Melt this in the microwave for a minute at a time, checking after each minute. After it melts, take it out and stir in liquid stevia to taste. Dip washed and dried organic strawberries into the chocolate and place on a parchment covered tray before chilling in the refrigerator.
It's not the "cheapest" net carb treat in the world, but it sure hits the spot if you want something special.
From what I can figure, a half cup (maybe three to four strawberries, depending on the size) is seven net carbs. Not too bad for such a fancy treat.
You'll see from the pic, I made way too many for one person to eat in a few days without going over a daily net carb count...so...I'm going to just freeze some to keep them from going bad before I can budget them all into my daily net carb allowance. I'm sure they'll taste great that way too.
The tray in the pic is one quart of organic strawberries. It takes four ounces of unsweetened chocolate and four tablespoons of coconut oil (the solid kind) to coat them all. Just including this as a point of reference if you want to make less...or...you might have other people in your family who would enjoy these...if so then make a BIG tray.
Love,
