So, here it is. My own version of Delmem ‘s Dark Chocolate Delight recipe .
This recipe uses 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. If you are not sure if you can handle the coconut oil on phase 2 of the HCG protocol, then start off eating only half of it. Delmem has estimated that approximately 88% of HCG dieters are able to continue losing weight while using coconut oil.
Coconut Oil, Cocoa, Truvia, and Agave Nectar
This recipe uses agave nectar for additional sweetness. It adds approximately 10 calories to the batch. It is considered a low glycemic sweetener (approx. 32 on the scale), and several HCG dieters have had success using it in their batches of chocolate.
Ingredients:
2 Tbl. coconut oil
1 Tbl. cocoa (15 calories)
1 packet of Truvia
1/4 tsp. Agave Nectar (5 calories)
small container
Cocoa and Coconut Oil Divided
Place a tablespoon of cocoa into your empty container and break up the big chunks of cocoa with a knife or spoon. Using a separate container (I used a measuring cup), melt two tablespoons of coconut oil in the microwave. This only took me (2) 5 second intervals.
In a separate container, add one packet of Truvia and 1 tsp of HOT water. Stir until dissolved. If the Truvia isn’t completely dissolved, warm in the microwave for 5-10 seconds and stir again. This is an important step. If the Truvia has not been dissolved, your chocolate bark will turn out grainy.
Add the truvia/water mixture and 1/4 tsp. of agave nectar to the coconut oil. It will sink into the bottom of the container. Stir as best as you can. Pour the coconut oil mixture into the cocoa while stirring with a whisk. Mix completely until your coconut mixture is a smooth consistency.
Chocolate Bark Liquid
Your chocolate bark is ready to be refrigerated. Refrigerate about an hour to harden. Once it has hardened, use a knife to cut around the perimeter of the chocolate bark. Flip over and pop out onto a plate.
Coconut Oil Chocolate Bark Broken in Half
Break your chocolate bark in half, and it’s now ready to eat! If you are using coconut oil for the first time on Phase 2, eat half of the bark in one day (1 Tbl. of coconut oil) to see how your body reacts. Enjoy!
Servings: 2 Tbl. Coconut Oil
