There are a few key words that sum up this dessert and all at once you will realise why it is amazing!
- Ridiculously indulgent… kills the cravings!
- Sugar Free
- Gluten and grain free (no flours)
- Takes just 2 minutes
- Endless flavour variations and mix-ins if desired
- It uses chocolate, I don’t think we need to say much more!
This version of the recipe is a chocolate cherry version, but you could use any berries, chocolate orange, choco-banana…or just plain and simple plain chocolate.
Recipe: Hot chocolate cherry pots
Serves 2 (or 1 if you’re feeling hungry) multiply recipe to fill more ramekins!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup blanched almond paste
2 tbs cocoa powder (good quality)
1 tbs sugar-free berry jam and a few drops of stevia (to taste)
1/4 heaped tsp baking powder
tiny pinch salt
up to 1/4 cup non-dairly milk or juice of choice ( I used soy milk)
small handful of pitted cherries (or other fruit)
Method:
Mix everything (except the fruit) together until smooth adding the liquid last until the mixture is thick but easily spoonable.
You can mix a little fruit through the batter if desired otherwise spoon into a ramekin no higher than 2/3 of the way up and top with the fruit.
Microwave for 60 seconds on high, or you could bake in the oven.
Note: We have not tried the oven version yet (due to impatience!) but I can see no reason as to why it would not work- just keep an eye on it and be careful not to let it dry out as you still want a gooey centre.
