Chocolate heaven low carb pie

Ingrdients:

One pound and eight ounces high percent chocolate or baking chips

1/2 stick butter

6 eggs seperated

1 tsp vanillia

1/2 cup splenda and 1/4 cup xylitol or favorite sugar substitute

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Melt chocolate with butter and vannila over double boiler or microwave.

2. combine seperated yolks with cream till smooth.

3. once chocolate is melted mix a small amount of the choclate into the yolk
mixture to temper the yolks and then mix into the melted chcolate.

4. whip egg whites with the salt to soft peak and mix in the sugar
substitute until stiff peak.

5. mix some of the egg whites into the chocolate to cool and then fold the
chocolate into the whites until well combined and pour into baking dish or
pie dish and bake at 250 degrees for 50 minutes.

6. once pie is cooled after baking let it cool in the refridgerator for at
least 3 hours.

Note: this pie is so rich as is you probably will want a small sliver as is
or with a small dollop of whipped cream.

This pie would be excellent with pecans or nut of choice, such as macadamia
nuts.

orange or almond liqour would also be delicious in this recipe.

Hi, Krom --

Is "high percent chocolate" the unsweetened chocolate in the baking
aisle? Or do you mean the premium chocolate bars that have percent
signs on the labels in the candy aisle?

I'm guessing, if you don't mean unsweetened chocolate, that it could
be used with more sweetener added to the recipe?

Sorry i meant the premium chocolate because the sugar content is usually
reasonable and doesnt spike me at all.

But sure you could use unsweetend and add more of your favorite
sweetener..just remeber that even unsweetend can have alot of extra "stuff"
in it.

I like the premium chocolate for its intense flavor..making this dessert so
rich a tiny sliver more then satisfies.

You can easily modofy this recipe which is why i like it .
You could up the protien by adding a nut flour such as almond flour or
hazelnut which would make it more cake like..or whip in cream cheese to the
cholate before the egg whites are folded in making a cheese cake.

The best part is you would never know it doesnt have much carbs or sugar at
all..my wife thinks this the best chocolate dessert shes ever had..even
better then fench silk pie from bakers square.

Hi, Krom --

Thanks for the info. Part of the reason I thought you might have
meant unsweetened chocolate is because a pound and a half of the
premium chocolate seems kind of expensive? I don't have any here to
check the weight of the bars my store carries, and I can't remember
the exact cost, but I have in my head they're about $2.00. So I'm
thinking that's a *lot* of bars!

Am I missing something really obvious here? Very Happy

I appreciate all the suggestions. It definitely does sound heavenly!

Oh giradelli sell premium chips on sale 2 8 ounce bags for 5 dollars.
Sure thats not a cheap desert but oh so worth it!

Thier chips are 70 percent and very deep dark chocolate taste.

2 oz. or 1/4 cup.

This recipe is very dense and rich but the bit of cream and vanillia cuts
the bitterness nicely..again a tiny sliver with real whipped cream or ice
cream might make it less rich as every bite is like eating a truffle so a
tiny bit goes a long way..unless your a chocoholic..then maybe slightly
bigger slice or square depending on what ya bake it in will do.

Just remember that if you use bite baking hocolate in place of any
sweetened chocolate like 60%,70% or even 85% Cacao, you have to reduce the
amount of chocolate as the sugar is a significant part of the weight of
the final product. I learned this the hard way making a recipe that
called for semi-sweet chocolate chips(12 oz) which I replaced with 12oz of
baing chocolate and the amount of sweetenr I had to use to make it
palatable was enormous and the richness was over the top. I now use about
5-7 oz of bitter chocolate in this same recipe adn it is just fine!

I cana't give you the exact proportions as I lost the tale I had gotton
and saved when I switched form a PC to a Mac adn couldn't transfer my
filed correctly.

So there is only 8 ounces in an American pound ? When we used ounces it
was 16 oz to the pound.
