Chocolate Bombs- for the occasional craving!

Although I remain very faithful to the protocol and feel as time goes on, more and more how good it makes me feel, there is some mental trigger that on Sundays makes me have that craving for something sweet. It must be a mental association that comes from some childhood memories: on Sundays, after coming from the weekly mass and family lunch, my sister and I baked a cake and watched a movie on the old RTP channel 1.

Today, to counteract these Sunday cravings, I turn to a small square of 85% sugar-free dark chocolate. It is a chocolate for those who like chocolate and not for those who like sugar.

By the way: there are people who think that they like chocolate, but it has to be sweet. In other words, they don't like dark chocolate - they say! But did you know that cocoa itself is not sweet but bitter? So maybe they just like sugar and not chocolate! Think about it! And by the way, those who say they can't drink coffee without sugar is because they don't like coffee, but in fact they like the sugar they put in their coffee! This is the cold and bitter truth! Our brain is pretty good at finding excuses to consume sugar!

Another possible strategy is to eat something that, although sweet palate wise, does not have flour but fat. This is where fat bombs come in. They are very similar to "brigadeiros". Here it is, a recipe that is approved by Dr. Berg.

Ok google play Tuxedomoon!

Ingredients

• 1 pack of Cream Cheese, no added sugar (read labels)

• 1 tablespoon of butter

• 2 tablespoons of Erythritol

• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

• Half a chocolate bar at 85% or more, no added sugar

• 3 tablespoons of grated coconut

• 1 tablespoon of Coconut Flour

Preparation

1. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt the chocolate in the microwave (I work the chocolate in the microwave in blocks of 30 seconds - stir and put another 30sec if necessary)

2. When the chocolate is melted, hot and without lumps, add a tablespoon of butter and mix everything.

3. In a mixer, stir the cream cheese with the erythritol

4. Add cocoa, coconut flour and melted chocolate

5. Beat everything until it looks like the picture

6. Finally, add the grated coconut.

7. Shape into brigadeiro-type balls! Put it in the fridge and eat a lot from time to time. They last a long time and can be frozen.

A heavenly sin!
