Can I have Atkins Friendly Cocoa on Induction??

[melissac]

I am PMSing like crazy (sorry boys, but I am and it sucks!!! ), so I decided to try an Atkins friendly cocoa to get a little chocolate fix. All it is, is 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa, 3 packets of Spelnda, 1 tbsp of cream added to the above to make a pastem and 2 tbsp added to water (combined to make one cup). Is this Induction friendly???
By the way, the above is actually not bad. It is a little watery and I found it a bit sweet, but in a pinch... I would probably start with 2 packets and go from there... Or maybe try a bit of vanilla extract.
Also, can we have skim milk powder on Induction. I think not, but it can't hurt to ask, can it?? My mom has a cocoa recipe that calls for some skim milk powder that I'd like to try!

You're right, this is Induction-friendly and the skim powdered milk isn't.

Adding cocoa to the mock danish or flax pancakes might also satisfy your chocolate craving. And I know there was a brownie recipe around somewhere made with ground flax that's also doable. Not very sweet, and portion control is an issue for me with them, but they freeze well. I like them plain or with a dab of whipped cream.

Try adding some cream instead of the milk.

I make chocolac flax muffins when I need that little something sweet. Gets Choc craving taken care of and a bit of flax in the deal as well.

You might want to try the Chocolate Blobs from the recipe files!
I make mine as Mocha blobs by adding a bit of instant coffee granules and a splash of Davinci SF Kahlua syrup. In fact, I made some up last night - I'm having pre-TOM cravings too.

Chocolate Blobs

1 oz softened cream cheese
1 tspn plain cocoa powder
2 tblspn splenda

Combine in bowl, divide into 4 blobs and freeze!

Those chocolate blobs are good and really do the trick!

Cream Blobs

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cream
1 packet splenda

Stir together until it thickens. You can let it sit for a few minutes too to thicken. Drop blobs on a flat pan or plate covered with wax paper. Freeze. Divide the carbs (about 5) by how many blobs you have.

Also, I don't think these taste nearly as yummy with hersheys or nestles cocoa. You need something like Droste or Valrhona (for example). Since chocolate is such a treat and I don't use it nearly as much as I used to, I find I don't mind spending the extra for really good stuff

Thanks, I will definitely give these a try! And I want to look for those brownies and muffins!

I think I will also try making meringues and adding a little cocoa!
