Regardless of it satisfying some innate childhood fantasy and I am reminded of arguments with my parents as to the contrary; I understand their arguments were sound and they were truly and rightly correct. 100% without a doubt:Chocolate Ice Cream for dinner, in dinner size portions, is a bad idea.
Just so we're all clear on that.
Yes I have done this. It was yummy and an extraordinarily bad idea. I REGRET NOTHING!!!
My name is Opiate. I am a life-long chocolate addict.
Though chocolate ice cream has many wonderful nutritional things in it a body needs to be healthy like you know.... chocolate (calcium, Vitamins A, B2, B12 are in there too as nice bonuses I guess), as with anything yummy that too much of a good thing is also very true. As my taste buds rejoiced my stomach turned into a war-torn state in the throws of a violent rebellion as was expected but did not deter.
Whatever possessed me to eat so much ice cream? I had chocolate ice cream in my freezer.
And a spoon.
I found the picture above on Scoop Adventures, a blog about ice cream: making it and loving it. It includes recipes. A great one I'd like to try is the Blueberry yogurt popsicles. She also has a recipe for a Praline and Bacon flavour.
Central to this find though is the chocolate stout ice cream and the recipe uses of all things Young's Double Chocolate Stout from the UK. One of my personal favourites of all time and guaranteed massive calories per bottle.
Avoid at all costs if you
- don't like beer
- don't like chocolate
- are trying to stay away from high amounts calories contained in single-serving-sized attractive bottles filled with yummy brewed liquid that you are likely to like far too much
Some healthier(ish) chocolate options:
- Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Trail Mix bars
- Kashi Chocolate fudge coconut, dark chocolate cherry, and mocha almond bars
- Any good quality 70% or higher dark chocolate and a glass of nice red wine
- Nutella
- Chocolate covered strawberries, cherries, any berries you like!!
