As we all know, I've been trying to make healthy sweets using agave nectar and other alternative ingredients. [Note, all of the things that I make are "health _____," regardless of the butter content, etc. If there is no sugar or white flour, it's health _______.] My husband was the only one who really appreciated my health brownies. They were dry. Sort of like stale chocolate cake, but really dense. Want to know how to make health brownies good? Whipped cream. It's no secret that I make the world's greatest homemade whipped cream. I believe this is entirely because I use super high quality vanilla and I freeze those components for a while before whipping.
I am happy to report that health whipped cream is just as delicious as the regular sugar based kind that I perfected ages ago. Definitely a good addition to the health brownie.
Last weekend, I also made health chocolate pudding. It involved carob powder and tofu. It was … vile. We all ate the whipped cream off the top and the rest went into the disposal. Very nasty.
Tomorrow, I'll probably make some more cookies. I finally found grain sweetened chocolate chip cookies, so I may try to make the chocolate chip cookies again. They were dry last time. That's one thing that I can say about all of the recipes. Everything seems really dry…
Could you use sugar free applesauce to make them more moist?
