Couple days ago (Friday?) I got an idea to try something for the Wife. I know she occasionally misses a sweet treat or sorts and most of our meals are not sweetened. So I wanted to try making something that may work for this, on those occasions… Here’s a first run on the idea I had.
Sweetened Chocolate Chaffle with Strawberry infused Cream Cheese
Chocolate Chaffle:
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 table spoons Mayo
- 2 table spoons Almond Flour
- 1 table spoon Cocoa
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
Mixed this up and cooked for 6 minutes in the waffle maker…
Strawberry Cream Cheese spread:
1 block (8 oz.) of Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Milk
1/3 cup Powdered Erythritol
1/2 teaspoon of Strawberry Extract
First I softened the Cream Cheese, added the Milk, Erythritol and Strawberry Extract
Chopped up a couple Strawberries to add on top
When they were done, I simply added some of the spread and topped with Strawberries…
Wife & Son actually liked them and ate two each. She did say she would like me to try a little more Cocoa in the Chaffle next time, and just a little more sweetener in the Cream Cheese.
But making just 4 Chaffles didn’t use up all the batter, (As I had planned actually) so it was time to move on to phase II of this experiment, and that was to make a small Mousse/Cheese-Cake version of sorts.
For this I simply took the remaining spread…
Added 15 drops of Liquid Stevia, (because the added Cocoa)1/4 cup Cocoa and a Large Egg…
I mixed this well with a blender…
Then poured the mixture into two 4" Springform Pans
Now I had actually planned to bake these for 20 minutes, but was also doing some work on my work computer and didn’t get them out until about 27 minutes. They looked fine, but they did drop quite a bit after cooling and I’m sure this was from being slightly cooked too long.
They came out good and again they both liked them, saying they were quite creamy. I also would have liked to make these in some small Porcelain Souffle Dishes, but wasn’t sure where I put mine? So they ate them right out of the Springforms… and unfortunately I didn’t get any photos of them after chilling in the fridge for a few hours. Guess their forks were faster than my picture taking was.
