There are many different recipes for chocolate mousse. This one is adapted from Sale&Pepe magazine. I quite liked it, it is very sweet so even a small cup of it is satisfying. Get your chocolate fix with this easy to make choco mousse!
The theme of this month’s “kuvarijacije” game are gnocchi made of home-made ricotta!!
I have to admit that this is the first time I am making home-made cheese. Instructions were very clear and preparation simple, so there were no doubts about what to do. I bought the whole milk and double cream, as well as the cheesecloth, made the ricotta in the evening and left to drain during the night :)
Something quick to make and very tasty, in accordance with the amount of free time I have the last few days :)
My Dad is a diabetic. When he fond out the diagnosis, my mother tried to lower his blood sugar levels by diet which he strictly followed. Now he takes medicines, but he still tries to avoid eating food he shouldn’t, and he doesn’t consume any sugar. At the beginning it was hard for him to get used to skipping desserts, but now you can find all kinds of stuff for diabetics, in bigger supermarkets. There are sugar free chocolates, cookies, wafels etc.
When making desserts for diabetics, sugar (sucrose) can be replaced by some substitutes (fructose, sorbitol, Maltitol). I can usually find only fructose in the stores here. But making a replacement is not so simple. Firstly, you have to put in a smaller amount of fructose (instead of 100gr of normal sugar you have to put in approx 60 gr fructose), and also because of the different chemical composition, cakes turn out noticeably different! This especially tends to be true for creamy cakes, but dry cookies usually turn out much better and you can’t really taste the difference from the ones made with sugar.
