Quick Chocolate Cream Food

3 INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

Steps:

• In a mug, crack an egg, add powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
• Mix it well very slowly.
• Microwave it for 50-60 seconds, until the cake is cooked.
• Top the cake with your favorite toppings like chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, etc.

QUICK & EASY CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 2 minutes., Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Warm gently before serving.

QUICK CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream the butter. Add in cocoa, salt and boiling water, stirring until smooth.
• Add powdered sugar and beat until frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. If frosting seems too thick, add water. If it seems too thin, add powdered sugar.
• Spread on cooled cookies, such as Frosted Chocolate Walnut Goodies.

LOW CARB QUICK CHOCOLATE ALMOND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread almonds out on a sheet pan and bake for about 5 to 7 minutes until just golden brown. (Watch them carefully as they can burn easily.) Remove and cool.
• With an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy cream in a bowl just until frothy and add in the sugar substitute, extracts, cocoa powder, and ricotta cheese. Continue to whip on high until peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or cream will break.
• Fold in toasted almonds. Using a 3-ounce ice cream scoop, place 1 scoop each in a champagne glass and freeze as "faux" ice cream or serve refrigerated as a parfait. If desired, garnish with low carb whipped cream, toasted almonds, a strawberry fan, cocoa powder, and a sprig of fresh mint.

EASY NO-COOK CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar and cocoa completely dissolve.
• In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream along with the vanilla extract into the cocoa powder mixture.
• Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes so it is completely cold. This will help it freeze faster, improve the texture, and allow the cocoa powder to become fully hydrated by the milk and cream.
• Give the ice cream base one more gentle stir and freeze according to the directions of your ice cream maker -about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Store your ice cream in an airtight plastic container in the back of the freezer. This will help preserve the flavor and texture of the finished ice cream. You can serve the chocolate ice cream right from the ice cream maker, but it will have the texture of soft serve. Freezing for an hour before serving will create a firmer texture.

QUICK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Put the chocolate bar into a microwave-safe bowl and add the milk. Microwave until the chocolate is soft and melted, about 30 seconds. Stir Greek yogurt into the chocolate mixture until smooth.

QUICK CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Steps:

• Break the chocolate bar into chunks-- the smaller the chunks, the smoother, faster and easier the chocolate will melt.
• Heat the half-and-half in a non-stick saucepan on a low flame while adding the chocolate, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted to the consistency you desire.
• Use more half-and-half for thinner fondu, less for thicker.
• Be careful not to over-cook because the chocolate will form a film which may taste bitter if reblended into mixture.
• Serve in a chocolate fondu pot (reasonably priced at Target. com) or in a ceramic bowl (to hold the heat longer).
• The fondu pot is better because it allows you to keep chocolate warm with a tea light.
• Dip fruit into chocolate and enjoy!
• Notes: If you do not have fondu forks, you can use bamboo skewers.
• I cut them in half for ease of use.
• Arrange and serve the fruit on a pretty platter.
• This makes the experience that much more delightful.
• Dried fruits, nuts and popcorn are delicious dippers, too!
• Chocolate fondue goes very well with dry champagne, full-bodied red wines and crisp, dry white wines.
• Enjoy!
