It hit my sweet tooth, but it tasted a bit bitter. I used guittard cocoa powder (only one I have on hand), and I’m unsure if that’s why it tasted more of a dark bitter chocolate. I even added 5 lilys sugar free milk chocolate chips. Any ideas on how to get rid of the bitterness and make it taste more like milk chocolate?

Used liquid coconut oil and added extra and extra water as mix was dry. Came out beautiful with a scoop of dollop cream on top. Yum, yum will be making this again for sure!

Fantastic. Even my 5 yo loved it. Takes a couple of bites to get used to, but at the end I loved it.

The sugar substitute was overpowering. Next time less! I liked the warm chocolate!

I don't understand I must be missing something. There's no mention of Cocoa powder in this recipe, but the instructions specify to use it.

I add an ounce or two of hot espresso (right from the machine) into the mug I make mine in. The brownie absorbs the espresso like a sponge, so any dryness is eliminated and the flavor is that much better

Thanks for your tips. I will give it a try .

Yum! I added Lilys milk chocolate style chips and really enjoyed this.

I thought this was delicious! I added 8 Lillys chips and cut back on swerve ultimate granular sweeteners . Also , added dollop of Redi- whip on top. I didn’t get the grainy texture like some of you were experiencing, I will be having this again sometime.

I remade this tonight and used the Hersheys Special Dark coca , it was better than the unsweetened milk chocolate.

Very good! I made it one time with regular cocoa and it was really good, but the Special Dark Hershey’s makes it even better.

Can this be baked in a toaster oven or regular oven ? If so, at what Time and Temperature ? We don't own a microwave for health reasons

Can you use oven or air fryer instead?
Meat Maven 10 months ago
I would use the air fryer. Preheat it first and then cook for maybe 3 minutes on 400. Check at 2 minutes maybe? Just my two cents… keep us posted.
Meat Maven 10 months ago
Made this last night! Not bad although next time I will make with 1 tablespoon of the swerve sweetener. .
Akdoxtater 8 months ago
I made it with the 1 Tbsp as you suggested and it was perfect!
Meat Maven 10 months ago
Update! Made with 1Tbsp of swerve and much better. 👍🏻
FortuitousRadish588989 10 months ago
This is tasty but DO NOT put the replacement sugar in it! Swerve is actually 8g carbs per tablespoon!

A carb is a carb. My doc & dietician count TOTAL not net carbs. The body uses the carb regardless our label.
