Oh Linda, that sounds wonderful!!! I cannot wait to try it - one question, tho.... where can I find almond flour? I have the Atkins bake stuff, would that work? Or would it just make it taste yuk? I don't have liquid splenda, but I do have some liquid stevia and liquid Sweet'n'low........... does anyone think that the liquid stevia is sweet? I haven't thought so, and so I don't use it............
Answer quick.. I HAVE to have some of this recipe!!!!! :o

I whipped some cream. added a drop of vanilla, 2 packets of splenda and a drop of cocoa. YUMMY! I put the bowl away after not even eating a tsp of it :) but it made my chocolate craving go away.

anyone know how to count that??

oh...and i plan on keeping a copy of that cake recipe. i'll have time to search for the ingredients while still on induction (i know. the whipped topping dessert I made doesn't qualify....but it helped w/the cravings!)

Brenda..... whatever helps! don't make yourself totally crazy (ok ok ok, let's not even go there!!! :lol: ) sometimes it takes a little "something" that might not be totally within your induction limits to help you stay OP - if it works for you, and helps you to be able to do your plan without creating a stall or a "slip", well then - it's ok imho!

I'm not craving anything but the chocolate---and that usually is at night. Anyone have a clue why that'd be? Is it just because the TOM is almost here?

Brenda, as far as I've been able to discover, almond flour is simply ground almonds. You can buy blanched (peeled) almonds and grind them in a food processor. I usually buy mine already ground in the bulk food section of the supermarket. There are usually small bags of ready ground almonds in the baking supplied dept along with nuts and chocolate chips, etc but they cost more bought that way.
I have to agree with you about the hot chocolate made with plain cocoa. Even after nuking it a couple of minutes (and having it boil up all over the m.w.) it is still kind of gritty, but it works for me when I'm desperate.
