WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

KETO CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

I do not follow a KETO diet as my doctors tell me I should not stick to such diet. I do, however, enjoy a KETO recipe now and then. When this one came in my mailbox I thought it was worth a try.  I changed it to meet my guidelines but the result is the same It is good.

3-oz block cream cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup "fake" powdered sugar* (recipe on this blog)
2 tbsp cocoa powde
1 pinch salt, optional
2 to 6 fresh berries for garnish, if desired

In large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy.

With mixer on low speed, slowly add cream and vanilla. Add the "fake" powdered, cocoa, and salt, if using. Return to high speed and mix 1 to 2 additional minutes until light and fluffy.
