Low Carb Chocolate Afghans

Deb December 1, 2005

Mix together:

  • 100g (4 oz) finely ground almonds
  • 1-2 Tbs unsweetened coconut
  • 1 Tbs cocoa

In a separate bowl, partly beat up:

  • 2 egg whites

Add, then beat till firm but not dry:

  • 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla essence
  • 5ml (1 tsp) orange essence
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 Tbs glycerine
  • pinch of stevia extract (the white powder)

Note: be very careful with the amount, it’s VERY concentrated

Fold gently together. Grease a baking tray with butter or coconut oil, or cover with baking paper. Place spoonfuls of mixture on tray. Left in mounds, they will come out still moist inside. If you want them crispier, flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for about 20-25 at 150C (300F), till just brown on the outside, but still soft inside.
