No-bake Cheese Cake Recipe & Sugarless Chocolate!
I was in a dessert making mood last night... I don't like to use a lot of sugar, so I've been working on a suger-free chocolate recipe using stevia for the sweetner. Well, the experement involved butter, unsweetend chocolate powder, almond flavoring and stevia (it is a lot like splenda). The one thing I would do differently is that I would use unsalted butter, because the salt brings out the bitter taste in the chocolate, and stevia doesn't mask it like sugar does (I added some frutose to cover it in the end). So, any way, Chocolate is usually made basically with cocoa butter, sugar and cocoa powder, mixed in different ratios to get different types. Butter is a lot like cocoa butter, but it's less expensive. Anyway, that's what I was doing last night. It started with making my own graham crackers, then it went to the Chocolate mixture I was melting in a small pan on the stove, then my graham crackers turned out hard because I didn't put any soda in them. (I should have followed a recipe.) :) Well, they tasted about right, so I ground them up in my Vita-Mix and added butter and cinnamon. It made a nice crust so I patted small amounts into a mini muffin pan and poured chocolate in them. I put them in the fridge, and went on to other things. I used the graham cracker crist in a pie pan and poured the last of my chocolate on in a thin layer, then I mixed up one package of cream cheese and 1 cup of sour cream in the Vita-Mix. I added about a 1/4 tsp of Lemon Extract and put about a 1/8 cup of frutose and a few dashes of stevia until it tasted good. Then, I smeared that onto the crust and smoothed it out. the final layer was the sour cream scrapings and a little bit of cocoa powder and stevia mixed together like chocolate mousse. I spread that out on top and sprinkled unsweetend coconut on top. After refridgerating it all night, we ate it for breakfast, and it was really good! You'll have to try it!
