Expert Foods Frozen Low Carb Fudge Bar Mix
|
Our Wise CHOice Low Carb Frozen Dessert Mix can be used to recreate almost any frozen dessert -- except for frozen fudge bars like Fudgsicles. Original Wise CHOice cannot recreate that wonderful dense texture at a reasonable cost (it will if you use a lot). Considering that the real things weighs in at 17g carbs (including 1g fiber) per serving even for the no-sugar-added version, we felt it worth while to develop a lower-carb alternative.
It was a dirty job (all that cocoa!) but somebody had to do it. After a great deal of dedication and self-sacrifice on the part of our product development team, who had to taste version after version, recipe after recipe of frozen dark chocolate fudge concoctions, we achieved success! A serving of two delicious bars contains 5.6g carb of which 4.3g are fiber -- in other words, 1.3g bioavailable carbs plus a lot of good stuff for each two-bar serving. Not bad, if we say so ourselves.
All you have to do is whip some heavy cream, add water, unsweetened cocoa, vanilla and the sweetener of your choice, and then add the fudge bar mix. Whip a few seconds more and freeze in molds or individual cups and -- enjoy!
In addition, you are not limited to chocolate. For example, maple flavor is a natural. Coffee is marvelous (just replace the water with good drinking-strenghth coffee). Banana is great, either made with extract ot a small piece of real fruit. Or flavor it with a bit of blackstrap molasses, add some pecans, and enjoy a frozen praline.
Like our other Wise CHOice Low Carb products, this mix is an excellent source of dietary fiber. But, as with the others, you'd never know it, because even though it is good for you, what it really does is taste and feel like the real thing.
Please note that the nutrition for frozen deserts must be presented on the basis of half cup servings. That is the equivalant of two bars when you use Tupperware or similar "popsicle" molds. The nutrition information presented below is based on dividing one package into nine servings of two bars each. However, given the absence of carbs to trigger hunger and the presence of fiber, most people would probably feel that one bar is a satisfying serving. In addition, because most molds hold only six bars, the recipe is scaled for three batches of six bars each. Of course, if you have sufficient molds and freezer space, you are free to make more.
If you don't have molds, you can buy popsicle sticks (called "craft sticks" at a hobby store and use small paper cups with aluminum foil covers to hold the sticks in place. We find the easiest way to unmold is to run hot water over the outside and gently twist or squeeze to break the connection between the fudge bar and the wall of the mold.
