RE: Valentines Ideas

[Guest guest]

I'm making the date loaf from BTVC, it's super.  I made it once before and had to restrain myself from eating the whole thing.

Hello to all! Valentines will be my first holiday on SCD and the chocolate temptations are everywhere! So, I was trying to think of something that is SCD compliant, but special to make for Valentines Day. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Well, I see from your sig you are fighting candida (aren’t

we all!), so this is for the future when you can have honey again…

In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt together equal parts

butter, honey and cocoa butter (www.ChocolateAlchemy.com)

Place in fridge to cool. Eat as is, or use as icing on a cake

(or date loaf!). And/or add chopped nuts to the mixture or freeze mixture in

candy cups, etc…Oh, vanilla extract is good in it too. And I think it

would be just as delicious if made with coconut oil instead of butter. It sets

up slightly when cool.

I threw this together one night awhile back and I had to refrain

from eating it all – I kept sneaking back to the fridge for ‘a nip’.

For this year perhaps make meringues and use much less honey (I

do). I like peppermint extract instead of the vanilla in the recipe.
