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 !!!
