Super Bowl Party Recipe: Part 4

Part IV- Desserts

  •  Light Ice Cream
  • Larabars
  • Cocoa Via Bars or Packs
  • Low Carb Cheesecake
  • Protein Cookies (swap in protein powder for flour)
  • Warm Chocolate Pudding
  • Dark Fudgy Brownies
    • Ingredients
    • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (Where a recipe calls for white flour, you can substitute:
      3 parts whole wheat
      1 part rice or oat flour
      1 part buckwheat flour
    • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar (To simulate this difference when substituting powdered sugar with granulated sugar, take 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tsp of cornstarch for every 1 cup of powdered sugar needed, and grind them in a blender. Make sure to use a blender, because a food processor won't work for this.)
    • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, American-style or Dutch-process
    • 3 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (50-72% cacao), coarsely chopped, plus 2 1/2 ounces chopped into mini chip-size pieces, divided
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (Stevia, Splenda, etc.)
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup, blended with 3 tablespoons lukewarm water
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1 large egg
    • 1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts, optional
