Most people like to induldge in wonderful chocolates on Valentines Day and who can blame them? Chocolate is the best thing EVER discovered. Aside from coffee (which I no longer drink anymore :( ), I think chocolate is the BOMB! Love, love, love, love all kinds of chocolates. I have had a love affair with chocolate for as long as I can remember. I have been known to eat full bags of Cadbury Mini Eggs in one sitting-without blinking and then looking for more. My kids have the same love affair with chocolate as I do. Well, since we are living clean it is not always easy to find chocolate goodies in its' purest form. It is almost all mass produced. Well...I came up with a chocolate strawberry ice cream. And it is delicous and healthy for you too. I got the "rolling of the eyes" delicious sign from the kids and I tried a spoonful and thought it was tasty as well. I made my own sugar free and almost fat free chocolate syrup to drizzle on top. I hope you try them and enjoy them as well. The recipes are as follows:
ICE CREAM:
1 cup homemade kefir (you could use plain greek yogurt)
1 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 dropperful of liquid chocolate stevia
1 Tbs. raw cacao powder
Blend in blender until well mixed and thick....if it gets too stuck add almond milk a tablespoon at a time.
CHOCOLATE SAUCE
1 cup water
1/3 cup raw cacao powder
1 cup xylitol ( 1/2 cup palm sugar, 1/2 cup dark agave)
1 Tbs. pure vanilla extract
Bring water, cacao powder and xylitol to a boil. Boil for 5 min. or until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat and add 1 Tb. of vanilla. Let cool. Pour on top of fresh fruit or ice cream.
