Chocolate Sundae: deconstructed

A chocolate Sundae.  Usually laced with many sinful delights. I've discovered a way to create the magic with very little badness.

It's a lovely LCHF option for a treat. There are many good fats and the use of 70% cocoa chocolate gives you a hit of chocolate with little other ingredients.  You can even leave out the Xylitol if you want it to be even more on plan.
