More Anti-Candida Diet Chocolate Recipes

I haven't tried this recipe yet, although I really want to - I have to organise some Almond Butter . . .

Rich Chocolate Icecream/Fudge
2 cups almond butter (or any other nut butter that you like, peanut butter, hazelnut butter etc) Butter should be made fresh for best results, either in your own machine or
at a health food store.
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (optional)

Sift the cocoa into a bowl and add all the other ingredients and mix well to combine. Pour into a tray and press down well with a metal spoon. Freeze for about one hour. Once firm take it out, cut it into pieces and put it in a container and back in the freezer. It has a chewy texture when frozen and a runny gooey one when at room temperature, so it is best to keep it in the freezer.

For some other ideas, add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit when making it.
Instead of freezing it in a square container freeze it in the base of a spring form cake container,and then top it with our chocolate banana ice cream, or if not on the diet, another icecream of your choice, and freeze. It will make an unforgettably decadent icecream cake!

The nut butter in this recipe provides excellent protein and other nutrients and makes an excellent addition to your anti candida diet. However, the fairly high level of honey in the recipe can make some people's blood sugar spike, so beware!
