Thanks so much for the tips! The sifting is KEY! I also use the Tropical Traditions, but haven't bought the gold label yet. I usually make my batch using 3 T of each at a time which is perfect to fit in my silicone ice tray. I have used the CD to great effect. I started with 1 piece, and am now on 5 pieces (although they are small), and never have had a gain while eating them. I add organic unsweeted coconut and a mac. nut, and they're great. I plan to try the cayenne idea soon!
what else is good in homemade chocolate is cayenne pepper. so yummy! also try cinnamon. please try and find organic cocoa, because hershey's is the worst possible grade of cocoa. search out some raw cacao, (un roasted coco) really good!
Hi all - delmem says these are ok on P2. This is my second round and I hope to lose 15 more (I've got 17 more days left - so I'm cutting it close). Has anyone done them according to Delmem's advice for P2?
@bridget641 I use unsweetened dark cocoa by Hershey. I use a LOT of sweetener but I've found that SomerSweet works better. Stevia has an aftertaste if you use too much.
I think your really good at this my first time seeing you I am new at ALL this Stacey my daughter law is helping me out , She looks great . I really love your hair style . Thank you for making it on here helps me out alot..'God bless you
Can I use coconut cream instead of coconut milk in this recipe? I had already purchased everything and was rewatching your video when I spotted the milk instead of cream. Thanks!
@chaligal You will have to adjust the amount to taste since I use Somersweet in addition to stevia. The recipe including how much stevia is listed under the video.
Just made a batch of chocolate delight with your Somersweet and what a difference! It is so much better than any other stevia I have ever had. I am buying some more tonight for my Mom. Thanks Shannon! :)
I just love to watch your vlogs.. Your so talented !! :) now have you thought about that Mock Kentucky Fried Chicken sandwich yet? LOL ((hugs)) Enjoy !
@leeskalyn When I saw that chicken double down that KFC is doing, I was really intrigued. I read a review of it at livinglavidalowcarb's blog and she really didn't think it was all that. She did her own version and I thought, "yeah, that's what I'll do." But I have to wait til P3 because it's a lot of protein!
@shannonblogs did you see their vlog? its all about that.. I follow them .. This is the guy that ate eggs for a month.. lol.. lol funny huh.. I think it is a great idea, I would never buy one there... I am sure you can come up with something great!! I am along way from p3, so you have time ha ha.. You start soon again right?
@leeskalyn I JUST watched their vlog. And realized that they weren't the ones I was thinking of! The site was "The Lighter Side of Low Carb." She is the one who has done her own version that is lower sodium and looks more delicious. She is also on FB.
@shannonblogs livinlowcarbman is the youtube name.. I was thinking about the names here.. I am not sure if they are the one and the same or not.. but check it out..
awesome vlog as usual! You didn't butcher my name ... you should hear some versions. The telemarketers are the worse! I really cut down on my cocoa and it really helps with the bitterness. Katie and I talked about how much you have to stir so the stevia don't settle on the bottom so I'll try and add to CO first. Love the mixing of the dark and reg cocoa. Great tips!
Oh my ... I'm definately using your tips on my next batch. I just have to find the molds. I didnt hear where you purchased them. Please tell me where you found them ... Thanks in Advance!
LOVE the Choco-D... GOTTA try me some of these...question- you said you measure out the 2Cups of Coco Oil, but when liquid it looked like less than 1.5 cups... so how much cocoa total went into that? seems like should been 1C max, 1/2 each... I whisk already, but you added some great tips like sifting and coco milk... I love that !! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for all the awesome recipes i had actually done some coco delight with cayenne it was yummy and then i see your video with all this other awesome tips thank again=)
Do you have a specific breakdown of the quantities of each ingredient? I've used the french vanilla stevia drops in mine but never thought about cutting back on the cocoa. I'm doing P2 now, and won't try this until P3 this time around, but I have a weakness for Chocolate, so this video is a great help to me! I'm adding it to my Favorites.
thanks for all the awesome tips! as for tip1 how much exactly do you cut back on the cocoa. originally i heard that you should do a 1:1 proportion of cocoa to coconut oil, what proportion do you do?
this video is like a rich man's chocolate delight...sifting...gold label coconut oil, i gotta do it again and add some milk to it, the ones i made were too dark and im not a fan of dark chocolate...i love the ending to this video hahah
@hawkcrew007 I filled the molds twice. I have enough for about 3 weeks now. I don't each but 2-4 a day.
@jesja7 YES. Coconut oil is proven to help the body release fat. I tested it on my first round and found I had bigger losses the next day after eating it.
this is easy to make even though the coconut oil is pricey it made me appreciate little bits of chocolate delight even more! :)
