OOPS!
Forgot:
I added 1 tsp xylitol (the additional sweetener).
I added 2 tsp less maple syruo from 1 Tbl to 1 tsp.

John,
So when you have fully tweaked this, will you post the complete recipe for those of us that are too easily confused, lol! I'm really looking forward to trying it!

I have fully tweaked this!
My wife likes it!
But it is NOT vegetable based ... treat it as a treat!
.
This recipe uses a mix of "healthy" sweeteners and limits caloric sweeteners and avoids sugar and fructose,
reducing excessive high glycemic value. Adjust to your tastes.
I do not like any more Xylitol nor Stevia than what I use here,
otherwise you could add more Stevia and reduce the amount of maple syrup.
(I also use organic, pastured butter, instead of EVOO, but that's not Zone friendly ...)
.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup marscapone cheese
6 oz cup Greek Yogurt (0%)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg whites
pinch salt
1/4 tsp Craem of Tarter
1 tsp maple syrup
1 TBL Stevia (10 drops)
1 tsp Xylitol
6 Tbl raw, virgin cocoa powder
1 Tbl EVOO
.
In blender or bowl with mixer:
Add 1/4 cup marscaponee cheese and 6 oz 0% fat Greek (Oikos) plain yogurt.
Add 1 tsp vanilla extract, butter, chocolate, maple syrup, xylitol, and Stevia.
Mix thoroughly.
.
Separate 2 eggs. (Feed egg yolks to dogs, if desired...)
In large bowl add pinch of salt and 2 egg whites and beat 2/3 through, until nearly stiff.
Add 1/4 tsp Cream of Tarter and whip until stiff peaks.
Fold in chocolate mix base.
Dole out into 3 dishes of your choice.
Chill at least 2 hours.
.
.
Serving Size: 3
Fat 14 g (Sat 6 g)
Protein 11.1 g
Carbs (10.9 - 4.3) 6.6 g
.
4-2/3 blocks fat
2 blocks protein (nearly)
2/3 blocks net Carbs (add some favorable fruit!)
.
I have not tried adding a bit of Protein powder to get P up to 14 grams,
However I calculated that 2 TBL (roughly) of a good (o fat, 0 Carb plain) Protein Powder brings ea serving up to 14 g Protein.
And fat is as low as I could get it, without sacrificing too much flavor and texture.
But as my wife and I are both adding fat and dropping a little Carbs,
this works for us as is, and tastes good.
Our 20 year old daughter, I always let her have some, even remarked that for a "healthier" version, it tastes pretty good !!!

It bothered me last night because I know I had a slightly better version!
Though we like the texture better with the marscapone cheese, it adds unfav fat.
Cottage cheese (low-fat) when pureed in a blender, is a healthy alternative to cream,
and great with fruit like blueberries or strawberries!
.
Better version:
Whip 1/4 cup (4 oz) low-fat cottage cheese
Replace the marscapone cheese with the whipped cottage cheese.
.
.
1/4 cup (2oz) low-fat cottage cheese whipped
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg whites
1 Tbl maple syrup
6 drops liquid stevia
1 tsp Xylitol (4g)
6 Tbl raw, virgin cocoa powder
1 Tbl EVOO
1 pinch Sea salt
1/4 tsp Cream of Tarter
.
Note: 3 Sweeteners used to reduce Carb/Glycemic load. Adjust to your taste.
.
In blender add 1/4 cup cottage cheese and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whip until creamy. Separate 2 eggs, set aside. Add yogurt, 1 tbl maple syrup, 1 tsp EVOO, 6 drops stevia, 1 tsp Xyliyol, and 6 TBL cocoa powder to cottage cheese and blend. In large bowl add pinch salt and egg whites. Whip egg whites until peeks form. Add Cream of tarter and whip until very stiff peaks. Carefully fold in chocolate/cottage cheese base. Chill at least 2 hours.
.
Serving Size: 3
.
Fat 3.8 g
Carbs (15.2-3.6) = 11.6 g
Protein 15 g
.
1 block Fat
1+ block C
2 block P
.
Add some fruit and nuts to balance.
Carbs from Cocoa powder Fav and Male Syrup unFav
