Healthy Homemade “Chocolate” by Foodie Fiasco

Note: Do NOT ever use refined sugar, or any artificial sweeteners.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup carob powder (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (You can use another milk, or even water if you so desire.)
  • sweetener, to taste (optional, I didn’t use any, which is saying something. I have quite the sweet tooth!)
Note: You can use cocoa powder if you really really want to, but I’m not sure I recommend it. You would definitely need to add additional sweetener, like stevia, to taste....
In a pot, whisk together carob powder and almond milk until no clumps remain. Heat it over low heat and simmer until thick, whisking constantly. Really, I mean it. Don’t stop whisking. It will burn. Add sweetener to taste, if desired.

Pour mixture into a mold (I used a plastic container and it popped out beautifully), and freeze until firm. I just left it in overnight. Like I said above, this stuff is best enjoyed straight out the freezer, so be aware.”
