To my SAD-eating friend who begged for the recipe. :)
4-6 oz unsweetened chocolate - melted
1/4 c cocoa powder
1/16 stevia & 1/2 c honey (OR 1 full cup honey) Taste if needed more sweetening
1/2 c fat (Butter, coconut oil or palm shortening)
1/2 tsp salt (if not using butter)
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 c yogurt cheese
(After making yogurt, drain about 4 cups through a fine cheesecloth overnight to get about 2 cups yogurt cheese.)
Melt chocolate and fat in a double boiler, add cocoa and sweeteners when chocolate is just beginning to melt. Remove from heat, allow to cool for a few minutes while you make crust.
Crust:
1/2 c fat (such as coconut oil or palm shortening, you want it very solid when cold.)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c almond flour
1/8 c cocoa powder
pinch stevia OR dash honey
Mix all ingredients over double boiler until thoroughly mixed. Should be clumpy, but all the fat should be melted and mixed into flours. Press into the bottom of 8 in. pan. It will be a very thin crust, you can double this for a thicker crust, I just wanted a delivery device.
After crust is finished, fold yogurt into chocolate mixture. There is no need to have it mixed perfectly. Pour and spread into prepared pan and put in the fridge to cool for several hours.
A drizzle of chocolate sauce and whip cream would be divine on this... but we ate it too fast to find out.
