In my quest to look for low-fat and sort of healthy chocolate dessert (which is very far and few in between, if you ask me!), I found quite a few relatively easy and healthy way of creating our own healthy desserts…well, at least as healthy as it could possibly be.
Here is one of them:
Ingredients
Low-fat Creamy Chocolate Dessert
A cup of low-fat Ricotta cheese
A tablespoon of dark cocoa powder
Two tablespoons of chocolate sauce
A dash of vanilla essence
Instructions:
Just mix all the ingredients together until it is well combined. You can sprinkle some chocolate shavings on the dessert before serving.
It tastes almost like the real chocolate ice cream if served cold. I particularly liked this recipe as it is very easy and can be whipped up within minutes. No hassle and no cooking required!

After all the previous posts on diets and health, I think this time I will post a recipe which I read somewhere and modified to suit my taste. This recipe is for those who absolutely loved chocolates of all types. No chocolate haters allowed!
It is quite easy and does not require baking or any complicated stuff. You can even get your children to help out!
Ingredients
20 bars of chocolate-coated wafers, crushed
Chocolate sauce
A packet of 200g chocolate-covered peanuts (crushed) / raisins
250g dark cooking chocolate
250g chocolate bar (of any type, can be milk/ dark/ plain/ with nuts/ with raisins), chopped
Tub of rich chocolate ice cream
Instructions
1. Place half of the crushed wafers on the bottom of a pan. Crush it further and try to make it even.
2. Pour in the crushed nuts / raisins and again try to level the mixture.
3. Dribble some chocolate sauce over the mixture depending on your taste.
4. Add the chopped chocolate bar and level it out.
5. In a heatproof pan, place the cooking chocolate over a boiling pan of water and melt it. Stir occasionally until it is melted through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
6. Scoop out 3 – 4 ice cream and smoothen it over the chocolate wafers, nuts, raisins and bar mixture. Add more ice cream if you prefer.
7. Top up the ice cream with the crushed wafers.
8. Pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate over the mixture. Make sure you have everything covered and let it seep into the whole mixture.
9. Place in the fridge for it to set.
10. Once it is set, you are ready to serve the non-bake, crunchy, nutty and rich chocolate cake! If you are worried it may be too sweet, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for most of the ingredients.
This will satisfy all of your chocolate cravings in a jiffy! If you use dark chocolate (especially those with less sugar content), it will taste absolutely wonderful. However, if you are a milk chocolate type, the result will also be wonderful but be warned, it will definitely be very sweet! So, brace yourselves for that.
What are you waiting for? Go get started on it and tell me how it turned out! Do feel free to add or reduce the ingredients in accordance to your taste. There is no strict ruling to follow the recipe ingredients exactly. After all, this is a non-bake recipe using ready made chocolates so nothing will go wrong! It won’t be burnt or turn out flat or anything. It will still taste like chocolate.
