Well, chocolate. Made a chocolate cheesecake with ganache today, and that works very well.

Here's the recipe if anyone s interested.

Chocolate Cheesecake

Ingredients

Base
125g’s digestive cookies
60g’s butter, melted
1 tbsp cocoa

Filling

175g’s dark chocolate
500 g’s cream cheese
150g’s sugar
1 tbsp birds eye
3 large eggs
150 ml sour cream
½ tsp cocoa dissolved in 1 tbsp of hot water

Glaze
75g’s dark chocolate
125 ml 35% cream
1 tbsp maple syrup

Method
Crumb the digestive cookies, then add the butter and cocoa to combine. Put in the freezer.
Melt chocolate over a double boiler. Beat cream cheese to soften in a stand mixer, add sugar and custard powder and combine. Beat in whole eggs and yolks, then add the sour cream. Add the cocoa, then the melted chocolate.
Line the outside of a 9” or 11” spring form pan with plastic wrap, then tinfoil. Pour filling into spring form. Set the spring form into a Bain Marie and add hot water coming up about halfway and bake in a 350 oven until set, about 60-70 minutes.
Melt glazing chocolate and cream over a double boiler, then add the syrup, whisk until smooth. Pour over cooled cheesecake and allow to drape over the sides. Allow to set.

I go with a quest bar. Cookies and Cream or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough! Best part of my day.

I eat one Hershey's milk chocolate nugget. It's a rich mouthful of chocolate that kills the craving for 50 calories

Arctic Zero Lactose Free Chocolate Ice Cream! It only has 150 calories an entire pint! With ice cream, I have a habit of eating the entire pint, but this gives me absolutely no guilt. It has the same exact texture as real ice cream, but it is not as rich. It still gives me my chocolate fix though.

I just pull something out of what Ive already got. Today's choice was the coconut and almond egg.

Homemade hot chocolate! It's my go to dessert after pretty much every meal. It goes something like this:

0.5 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Stevia to taste
Dash of vanilla extract
Pinch of instant coffee (to bring out the chocolate flavor)
Enough hot water to fill a mug
Cream or milk lighten

Comes in at about 50 cals and definitely hits the spot for me.

Dark chocolate or sugar-free brownies or unsweetened cocoa powder mixed into my coffee. I've never found a cereal or protein bar that really tasted like chocolate to me.

Dates, orange zest, almonds and cocoa process until a ball is formed in a food processor. Roll into small balls and store in fridge for healthy treat

I custom order my chocolate and other items to help thin the chocolate for working in molds, then I make my own caramel (turtles), my own peanut butter filling (pb cups), my own cherry filling (chocolate covered cherries) and enjoy.

Love my dark chocolate with caramel and sea salt! Am planning on having some this weekend if I can fit it in!

Tonight I'm having half of a Lindt 99% cocoa bar and 4 squares of Trader Joe's cookie butter cheese cake

Chocolate pudding eaten s.l.o.w. Around 100 cal. Or a few semi-sweet chocolate chips.

I'm chocolate indifferent, but will sometimes have a cup of cacao when I want something sweet.

I go for some good quality dark chocolate. Satisfies my craving every time

The chocolate chip cookie Luna bar is really good. I also enjoy the mousse cups (I have no clue the name) or the chocolate jello cups from the grocery store.

I cannot buy chocolate bars or anything like that because I will demolish them instantly. I am a TRUE chocoholic.
