CHOCOLATE DELIGHT - HCG - P2/P3/P4

Steps:

• Melt coconut oil (in microwave) for 15-45 seconds, just long enough for it to turn to liquid.
• Add cocoa powder (the more cocoa powder, the more the flavor will taste like 'dark chocolate', so if you don't like dark chocolate, use the lesser amount of cocoa powder) and add sweetener (8 packets or to taste). Mix thoroughly.
• Pour small amounts into an ice cube tray (or similar) and freeze for at least 15 minutes, to harden. Then enjoy! =).

HCG DIET (P3) CINNAMON-CHOCOLATE MERINGUES RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Separate one egg at a time into a small bowl, letting the white fall into the bowl and discarding the yolk. If there's any trace of yolk in the white, discard the white and start over. If it's yolk-free, transfer to a clean medium mixing bowl. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs. Add cream of tartar to the whites and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar (stevia), a little at a time, until incorporated. Continue beating until the whites are stiff and glossy. Add vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more. Sift 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and cinnamon over the meringue. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold them in along with the chocolate chips until combined; do not over-mix. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place a small amount of the meringue under each corner of the paper to secure it to the pan. Fill a 1-quart sealable plastic bag (or pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip) with the meringue. Seal the bag almost completely, leaving a small opening for air to escape from the top as you squeeze. Snip off one corner of the bag with scissors, making a 3/4-inch-wide opening. Fold the top of the bag over a few times, then gently push the meringue down to the snipped corner. Working with the bag perpendicular to the baking sheet, pipe the meringue into 1 1/2-inch-diameter cookies, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart. Bake the cookies until dry and crisp throughout, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the pans to wire racks and let the cookies cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Sift 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder over the baked meringues for garnish, if desired. Tips & Notes: • Make Ahead Tip: Cookies can be held at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. If stored meringues are chewy, bake at 200°F for about 10 minutes to restore their original crisp texture. • Tip: To get the most volume from beaten egg whites, it's best to start with whites at room temperature. Submerge them in their shells in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for about 5 minutes before using.
