Hi Everybody,
On today's conference call, Katherine asked about using the Lily's chocolate. It's an ingredient in one of the recipes here on this thread, that I'd put it together before I realized the Lily's has things in it that don't work for us. One thing is Xylitol...and it is a problem for many sufferers. I found I could eat a little of the Lily's chocolate, but it's so tasty that it's tempting to overdo it.
So...I went back to the drawing board to see if I could figure something out to replicate it. Btw...this is the chocolate mixture used to pour over nuts, and seeds to create a chocolate candy.
After fooling around with butter vs coconut oil, I realized the coconut oil worked better. I couldn't remember that today on the conference call, so I looked it up.
Here's the ratio:
2 ounces (half a box) of Bakers unsweetened cacao- 100%...this isn't the powder...it's the solid kind
Two heaping tablespoons of coconut oil (the solid kind)
Mix it together after it's out of the microwave and then add liquid stevia to taste.
There you go Katherine...hope this helps.
It's not as fabulous as the Lily's, but...it's a pretty good second choice, and it won't make you sick.
Love,
Karen |
