Greetings,

Many years ago when I did Atkins there were no convienence foods. All I had
was a Xerox of the pertinant pages out of one of the books published in the
60's. Which meant that I got very creative. I was desperate for chocolate -
I mean desperate, and I am very picky about chocolate. I like really dark
chocolate so I went about trying to feed my habit. What I came up with was
the following: Cream Cheese, sugar substitute and Dutch processed coco.

I would buy the Philly cream cheese in the little squares that you can buy.
Put the cream cheese into a piece of microwave safe glass and nuke it until
it was runny, like 30 seconds. I then added a couple of tablespoons of coco
and a sprinkle of nutrasweet, stirred it up really well and ate it with a
spoon. It was like a thick hot fudge sundae without the icecream. I would
occasionally whip up some heavy cream and really fake the sundae thing.

I would think that it would work as a sauce for your low carb icecream.

Glad Tidings,
Serena da Riva
