Flourless Chocolate Cakes (Individual mini cakes)
Celebrating the Easter and Passover holidays often involves sharing good food and family traditions with friends and family. For those who have worked with me or have followed my blog, you know that indulging in favorite foods (10 – 15% of the time) can be an important part of living and enjoying life. So part of my mission has been to help others find healthier ways of making those food favorites that are delicious without the guilt, and that don’t send you into a week of sugar cravings. Of course learning to create a healthy balance of foods in your life play a big role too.
Here is an example that you’re sure to enjoy if you are a chocolate lover! My first introduction to chocolate flourless cake was when a friend brought one in to work from her Passover celebration, years ago. At that time gluten free was unheard of and so were flourless cakes, with the exception of the holiday tradition. So when I discovered this recipe, a more “guilt-free” one that is gluten free, lower in sugar, and includes a nutrient rich dark chocolate, I had to share. It’s an all around healthier version that can be enjoyed for the holidays or anytime you want to impress your guests with a delicious, decadent dessert. Adding fresh fruit rather than whipped cream adds to the health factor and can make it all the more enjoyable. It may become a new Easter or Passover favorite.
