First things first, we’re using the word “dessert” loosely. Dessert indicates a small course that’s eaten after a meal, but we think chocolate should be eaten any time of the day. If you think about it, chocolate is a gift from the gods! Why has it become a guilty pleasure? Everyone should be able to enjoy the sweet, succulent, creamy and, yes, healthy properties of chocolate. So we’ve gone ahead and done the work for you.
Behold! 10 of the most decadent, guilt-free chocolatey chocolate desserts of your sweet life. Scroll through, enjoy, and remember to wipe the drool off your chin.
Pro Tip: try swapping out some of the cocoa powder in any of these recipes for JOYÀ Calm Cacao Superblend, and using JOYÀ chocolate for a paleo, refined sugar-free option!
