Is there any substitute for the cocoa powder? My husband isn’t a chocolate fan )-:

In reply to Chandra.

Chandra, not necessarily. HEALTHY fats are healthy for all of us, do NOT cause us to be fat, in fact it is quite the opposite. Healthy fats help us feel full faster, increase the cholesterol that lubricates our joints, helping to prevent and relieve arthritis, and other joint related issues. (Cholesterol, another misunderstood good for us product in our bodies. Do some research, it does NOT cause heart issues if used and done correctly.) And for those of us on Keto diet, can help us drop fat in a fast and healthy way, AND help those of us with type 2 diabetes keep our blood sugar controlled. Do research. It is helping me to avoid metformin Rx. (But, again, DO RESEARCH before trying to ditch the drugs for diabetes! I am only doing it as my DR dumped me for not being able to come in to do A1C tests every 3 months, so, no Dr, no prescription. I found a place to buy the test strips and meter, so I’m still testing myself daily.)
So, no, whipping cream (from organic heavy whipping cream) is NOT unhealthy for us, of course that is not to say those with dairy issues should use it!
I have tried whipping coconut cream, and for me, with no dairy issues, it just isn’t the same, but it is still good and a good replacement if dairy cream isn’t for you.

My sister and nephew have Celiac disease and this recipe is right up their alley! Thanks so much. It’ll be nice in the future when we’ll all be disease-free and all food will be fresh and safe ?? Psalm 72:16

Why not use coconut milk whip cream it’s delicious and better for you than cream right?

I love the healthy desserts on this site, but had been struggling to find something to make for my father for Father’s Day. He suffers from Diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure so finding anything he can have besides meat and veggies is a challenge. Then I stumbled on this recipe. I looked it over and realized that it would be exceedingly low carb (like nearly all of your recipes) along with extremely low sugar (only a little from the fruit and honey). To top it off if I used coconut oil instead of butter and whipped coconut cream instead of conventional cream the recipe is also cholesterol free! Thank you so much for posting this recipe and giving me the ability to create something sweet for my father 🙂

Instead of heavy cream I used coconut cream – so yummy. It’s easy to make, just leave a can of cream in fridge overnight or couple of hours and then whisk as normal dairy cream. Perfect alternative. PS: love your website, so addictive to read all wisdom 😉

This was so yummy, I had the leftovers for breakfast 🙂 Next time I might try to spread the crust on a piece of parchment paper, cool it, then cut the crust in squares and layer it in a dessert cup with the raspberries and whipped cream. Might add blueberries too. Thanks for this delicious recipe!

I made this tonight for a progressive dinner and it was delicious!! I knew the dessert home would be full of things with sugar and wheat, things I’ve been avoiding during pregnancy, and so this recipe seemed to fit the bill. Everyone loved it! The chocolate crust was wonderful and the tartness of the berries married so well with the whipped cream! I used frozen raspberries instead of fresh since I couldn’t find any, but it still worked out wonderfully. The berries were more just chilled than frozen by the time we made it to the last house for dessert anyway.

Seriously, wonderful!!!!

I made this today with orange slices instead of raspberries because I couldn’t find any good berries. The chocolate and orange combination was yummy too!
