Healthy Chocolate Dip

Iris Warren

Report

This Healthy Chocolate Fruit Dip is just the thing for satisfying your chocolate craving--without the guilt. Great with fruit, or even simply eating off of a spoon. Bonus--it's low-carb and dairy-free too.

Notes

Sweeteners: You can really use whatever sweetener you like--the texture might change a little, but not enough to be a big problem.
Stevia Conversion: If you'd prefer another sweetener to the stevia extract, you can follow the information in this post on How to Use Stevia to adjust the recipe.
Coconut Milk: I used my Homemade Coconut Milk for this recipe, but you could use any other dairy-free milk, or even milk. Coconut or cashew milk will yield some of the creamiest results.
Pepper Options: I made this recipe using ground chipotle peppers. You can use any hot pepper that you like, but make sure to adjust for the degree of heat with each. You want just enough for a faint "kick"--but not something that leaves you with a pain in the tongue.
Almond Butter Alternatives: You can substitute in any other nut or seed butter as needed. Allergic to almonds? Try sunflower seed butter or even pumpkin seed butter in this Paleo Chocolate Dip--yum! See Homemade Nut or Seed Butter.
Coconut Milk Fat: (As the recipe notes, you can use either 2 tablespoons off the top of homemade coconut milk or put a can of coconut milk in the fridge and use 2 tablespoons of the heavy thick part off of the top of that after it hardens. Coconut cream is another option as well.)
