Last Sunday, everyone was having dessert except me! I decided to make myself something with Lindt dark chocolate. I’d seen something online and experimented with it. This is how it turned out.
Ingredients
- Lindt 70% (or 85% if you prefer) – you need 2 squares per person
- 1/3 cup cream per person
Method
I took two squares of the chocolate and quartered it into a small ramekin bowl.
Microwave it for 1 minute, until melted…
Whip 1/3 cup of cream until thick….
Gradually stir it into the chocolate – reserve a little for serving…
Mix it well and you can serve it in the same ramekin bowl with a spoon of cream…
It is rich and delicious! Just perfect as a Banting dessert. For a fantastic alternative, use the flavoured chocolate Lindt – orange or mint, or if you want some zing, chilli. But just remember that the flavoured Lindt has higher carbohydrate content.
Carb count:
- Using 2 squares 70% Lindt: 4g per serving
- Using 2 squares flavoured Lindt: 6.5g per serving
- Using 2 squares Nestle Aero: 9g per serving.
The problem comes in trying to restrict yourself to one serving! 😉
The 70% Lindt is quite strong, so you could get away with using only 1 square and reducing the carbs to about 3g per serving.
It’s worth experimenting with. It’s delicious!

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Keep the smile going!
God bless you!
