WOW! So many hands up… great! So, I want to disclose 2 Paleo diet dessert recipes that are quite simple to make, yet taste really yummy.

Wait, did I hear someone say “that’s it? Only 2 measly recipes?”

Alight, alright, to be honest, I have a ton of Paleo dessert recipes neatly tucked away in one of my computer folders. Since, I have very limited space here, I’ll share only a couple of recipes – sorry!

To make it up to you, I’ll reveal the place where you can download those recipes to your computer. They can be found in some highly organized Paleo cookbooks, so check them out after these 2 recipes.

Dessert Recipe 1: Paleo Coco Pudding

Ingredients: ¼ Cup of carob powder, 1 tablespoon raw honey, 1 medium ripe banana, 2 small ripe avocados

Directions: Place carob powder and honey in a food processor. Next, slice the banana and avocado into chunks and throw them in the food processor. Finally, blend the mixture until it becomes thick and smooth.

Dessert Recipe 2: Special Paleo Brownies

Ingredients: Approximately ¼ cup of coconut oil, 2 ¼ cups of almond flour, 1 teaspoon organic kelp granules (salt alternative), 1 teaspoon baking soda and 2 pears (use food processor to puree them first!)

Directons: Set flour aside but dump all ingredients in a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes buttery. Now put the flour in and blend.

Spread some coconut oil evenly on a baking pan. Also, sprinkle a bit of almond flour on the pan.
Pour mixture into the pan, spread it well and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 – 35 minutes.

Now, enjoy these Paleo dessert recipes!

Chocolate Treats to Enjoy: Amish Chocolate Toffee Bars and Triple Chocolate Clusters

We always have people wanting more chocolate recipes.  (It’s so good to know I am only one of many chocoholics.)  So here are more chocolate delights just for you.  Choices include Amish Chocolate-Toffee Bars.  These bars, in true Amish tradition, are simple but delicious three layer bars that are easy and quick to make.  If you prefer candy, try the Triple Chocolate Clusters.  These candies are clusters of various chocolates and coating over nuts and pretzels.  Oh, go for it!  Make them both.

AMISH CHOCOLATE TOFFEE BARS

CRUST:
1 cup flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix above ingredients and press into a 9 x 6-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

FILLING:

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter

Boil brown sugar and butter in a saucepan for one minute. Pour over the baked crust.

TOPPING:

1 cup pecans
1 cup chocolate chips

Sprinkle the pecans over the top of the filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and while still hot, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and spread to smooth. Cut into bars when cooled.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS

2 (4-oz each) white chocolate bars
1 cup milk chocolate morsels
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups broken pretzels

Melt the white chocolate, milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate together in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. When chocolates are completely melted and blended, stir in the pecan pieces and pretzel pieces. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto lightly greased waxed paper. Chill in the refrigerator at least one hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Yield: approximately 3 dozen

You can make a firmer candy by using 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels and leaving out the milk chocolate and white chocolate.

Enjoy!

What You Need to Know about Baking with Chocolate

Is there anyone who doesn’t love at least one type of chocolate? Surely not! Since ancient times, chocolate has lured bakers and cooks to include it in every meal imaginable, from breakfast to dessert.

You may have cooked and baked with chocolate before, but by knowing a few key facts, your resulting treats will improve immensely. Begin with a great recipe (I especially like the chocolate recipes on videos found at Gourmandia.com). Then give these tips a try next time you have a chocolate craving:

Choosing the Right Chocolate

There are a number of types of chocolate used in baking. Always use the type you’re your recipe calls for.

Cocoa is made when unsweetened chocolate is stream pressed. The resulting powder has a lot of flavor and not much fat. Cocoa quickly looses its flavor when exposed to the air, so it’s best to buy small containers of cocoa powder.

Cocoa butter is a vegetable fat made from the cacao plant.

Chocolate chips may be made from semi-sweet dark chocolate or milk chocolate. Read the packaging carefully!

Chocolate liquor is made by grinding roasted cocoa beans.

Milk chocolate is rarely used in baking. It is chocolate with condensed or dry milk added to it.

Dark chocolate has various levels of sugar added to it, resulting in bittersweet (the least amount of added sugar), semi-sweet (some sugar added), or sweet (the most sugar added).

Semi-sweet chocolate is sugar and vanilla mixed with chocolate liquor.

Unsweetened chocolate, which also sometimes called baking chocolate, is the solid form of chocolate liquor.

White chocolate has about 50% cocoa butter, and lots of sugar, milk, and vanilla.

For the Best Chocolate, Read the Label

For better results in your baking and cooking, use the highest quality chocolate you can afford. The good news is, not all fine quality chocolate is expensive. How can you know if the chocolate is worth your time and trouble? Check the label. If the ingredients list names any fat but cocoa butter, don’t use it.

How to Melt Chocolate

Chocolate is frequently melted before being used in a recipe. Although it’s not difficult to melt chocolate, disaster can easily strike if you don’t follow a few simple steps.

First, never melt chocolate in a humid kitchen. Second, make sure all your cooking tools are dry. Any exposure to water can cause the chocolate to become stiff and grainy.

Chocolate begins to melt at about 95 degrees F. If it gets overheated, it separates and burns and is not useable. A double boiler really is a must to help prevent burning chocolate.

To melt chocolate, chop up the chocolate and place it in the upper part of the double boiler. Place just enough water in the bottom part of the double boiler; too much, and the water will touch the upper bowl and burn the chocolate. When the chocolate just begins to melt, stir it constantly until completely melted. Once the chocolate melts, it will stay in liquid form for about 30 minutes.

And that’s all you need to know to enjoy a fabulous chocolate recipe!
