Beach 2013 is approaching and here at Givensa we have tightened our belts and started on a diet …or have we? For there is a secret that not so many seem to know about here in Spain. The fact that you can eat fat and lose weight!! Yep, with the LCHF (Low Carb, High Fat) diet. So what is the secret? Well skip sugar and starchy food such as white bread and pasta, instead eat protein, fat and vegetables. Dark chocolate is also allowed! 🙂 If you want to reed mor about LCHF here’s a link: http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf or in Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Carb_High_Fat or jus google it.
Today is the dessert Friday here at Givensa, so we would like to share with you a really good (and actually healthy) chocolate mousse!
This is what you need:
- 100 g dark chocolate (at least 75%)
- 2.5 dl whipping cream
- little grated orange peel
- 3cl rum and/or strong coffee
Fresh Strawberries and a little Lemon balm or mint as decoration.
Melt the chocolate and whip the cream. Add rum / coffee and grated orange peel to the melted chocolate. Then mix the chocolate with 2/3 of the whipped cream, Pour into glasses and let stand in a cool place for a little while. Decorate with strawberries and fresh herbs and remaining cream.
Enjoy!!!
