Perfect For Any Occasion
The thing I love about this recipe is that they are reasonably healthy but are still a decadent chocolate treat for anyone trying to watch their sugar intake or trying to reduce their carbs. I love to have these on hand when there are lots of sugar laden treats around to tempt me.
I also love to make these when I have people coming over for dinner and serve them after dinner with coffee. They go down really well and people don’t even ask whether it is low carb or “special” food as they tastes so good. People are also generally impressed that you make your own chocolates, so you can take on all of the accolades for that as well. These delicious Raspberry Dark Chocolate Cheese Cake Balls would also make a lovely gourmet gift or a host gift if you are going to someone’s house for dinner.
What Chocolate Should You Use
Try to use dark chocolate a minimum of 75% couveture in this Low Carb Rocky Road recipe so that you are minimizing the amount of carbs and the sugar in this recipe. If you can work your way up to about 80-85 % couveture for an even healthier option, that would be even better. It certainly pays to compare the different chocolate that you find in the store so that you know how many carbs and how much sugar is in each block as they can vary by quite a lot.
Note that if you don’t like the taste of dark chocolate and are cutting back on sugar and carbs, you are going to end up liking it. Trust me! It’s a treat and when it’s been ‘watered’ down with other ingredients like it has in this recipe, you won’t really notice the slightly bitter taste of the chocolate because you are going to be enjoying eating one of these delicious Raspberry Dark Chocolate Cheese Cake Balls.
