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.
