Healthy chocolate cake!!!
 

There are four basic food groups..

Milk chocolate
Dark chocolate
White chocolate and
Chocolate truffle.

I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process.... it may not be true, but do i dare take the chance.

I am Diabetic, and I wonder if Spenda Brown Sugar would work in this receipe.... Since I love chocolate:eatinghersheybar: I am off to find out!

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups white sugar
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 3 egg whites
• 6 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked

Directions

1. Combine 1 1/3 cups sugar, flour, and cocoa in a deep saucepan. Beat egg yolks with milk. Slowly add to sugar mixture. Cook on medium heat until thick while stirring with a flat bottomed wooden spoon. Remove mixture from heat, and stir in the butter or margarine until melted. Pour filling into baked pie crust.
2. To Make Meringue Topping: Whip egg whites in a glass bowl. Add remaining sugar one tablespoon at a time (you may not need all of the sugar) until peaks form. You may need to add cream of tartar to help add stiffness. Spread the meringue over the chocolate filling.
3. Bake at 325 degrees F until the peaks of the meringue are browned.

Have any of you ever tried chocolate ice-cream with candied ginger?
The combination of the two (chocolate and ginger) is heavenly!

The 12-step chocoholic's program: NEVER BE MORE THAN 12 STEPS AWAY FROM CHOCOLATE.

I tried this receipe with regular brown sugar, and my Kasey and I loved it! My daughter not so much...it has a dark chocolate kind of taste, and she is more a milk chocolate kind of girl.

I made a fresh cherry sauce to go with it...Yumbolicious!:wine:

I envy those of you that post here...i am allergic to chocolate.

Esther Price Opera Creams are to die for. The light chocolate. Normally I'm a dark chocolate kind of girl.
. I may have posted this before but I ain't lookin' for it! .

my all time favorite lazy treat to eat is fresh pineapple chunks that are dipped in chocolate fondue sauce and then rolled in coconut flakes- before the chocolate cools off and hardens... *yum*

I know! Today is national smores day, did you know that???
:) See the thing is, in order to enjoy chocolate and fruit and sparkly stuff, one must have a bonfire - preferrably one in blue! *lol* I went to a New Years bondfire party, several years ago, and I made those treats to take to the party. I soaked them in rum first though...

That's what I love about the combination of chocolate and ginger - two great cause and effect agents in one little neat package: "Fire & Ice" !!!!

That's great that you liked those two items together - when I first tried it, I thought "Whaaaat??? is it good????" LOL! It was so good that I like my chocolate with ginger as a primary preference! HA!

RE: Pineapple, coconut and chocolate - I tried it first as they were in their own natural element of taste; then, for something different, I tried soaking the pineapple in rum later and I liked it on both ocassions!

I have a special cookie recipe that uses chocolate chips, walnuts and kaluha too (and other herbal elements), but these cookies are more for a tx (treatment purpose) only and just a crumble or two of the cookie is enough of a dose to boost past pain levels, etc. But, each time I make them, I can never tell if they are too strong or what, so I always go easy when I'm making them because it's a crap shoot.... I always feel like my scientific skills could use improvement because it's an experimental process. :cheesy:
