One of the markers of being a Pace (my family’s last name) is having an insatiable sweet tooth. My cousin, and classically trained chef, Heather has found a way to have your cake and eat it too. By using whole, quality, nutrient-dense ingredients she creates desserts that satisfy your sweet tooth, but are high in good fats, have no refined sugar, are gluten-free and VERY satisfying. It’s an honour to finally feature one of her recipes. Check out her incredible blog here. – Alana

Chocolate
NB: You can substitute dark, store bought chocolate to make this recipe simpler. I would recommend organic, fair trade. If melting regular chocolate, see here for how-tos.

Before I read your post and just saw the picture I thought to myself… ‘those look delicious, but I bet they are way too difficult to make’ You see…I am not much of a baker, so things like this overwhelm me. But then I read it…and I think I was wrong! I am actually going to attempt these and I am SO excited to!

These truffles look delicious! I can’t wait to try them! Chocolate is a big weakness of mine. So many of the recipes call for a ton of sugar and end up wreaking havoc on my diet. I found a great tool on Registered Dietician Sofia Abdelkafi’s website that analyzes my recipes and lets me know if they are really healthy or not and how much I can eat while sticking with my diet.
