How To Make diabetic friendly chocolate balls (sallye)
-
Step 1Mix cocoa and skimmed milk powder together. Add half cup low fat milk, stir with wooden spoon until it is a smooth paste. Set aside.
-
Step 2***IMPORTANT: BUY THE STEVIA PRODUCT THAT SAY ON THE PACKAGE IT IS A ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT FOR SUGAR***
-
Step 3Place butter and sugar substitute in a heavy nonstick pan over low heat. Stir occasionally, till all ingredients are fully melted.
-
Step 4Add the remainder of the milk and bring to a boil. Gradually pour the prepared chocolate paste into mixture, stirring continuously with wooden spoon. Cook while gently stirring, until mixture forms a very soft "lump". Mixture should leave sides of pan easily.
-
Step 5Add vanilla extract and puffed rice. Add half the raisin bran , leaving half for use later. NOTE: Pick all the raisins out of the remaining half of bran and add them to the mix. Remove from heat, mix well, and set aside to cool.
-
Step 6When mixture is at room temperature, roll into small balls between both palms. Roll these balls in the remaining bran, to coat all over. NOTE: I coarsely crushed the bran in a ziplock bag to make it easier for the coating process.
-
Step 7Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place baking sheet in fridge until balls are set and firm. Store in fridge in an airtight container
