- Mmmmmm, chocolate!
- You'd never notice that the recipe uses Peanut flour instead of white flour in this recipe, besides the awesome flavor. The peanut flour creates a soft, dense, fudgy outside with an explosion of chocolaty goodness on the inside.
- 6 ounces dark chocolate ChocoPerfection Bar or Simply Lite Bar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup Truvia
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup peanut flour
- To make centers, melt 2 ounces of chocolate and vanilla almond milk in double boiler. Whisk gently to blend. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm. Form into 6 balls; refrigerate until needed.

- Who has the exact method to make it nice and fluffy? Do you use a potato ricer? Do you let cool and dry before ricing? Do you grate it first with a box grater?
- Hoping for some advice from all of you cheffies.

- Start Date: June, 2009 I would say the number one thing is to use fresh cauliflower. The frozen stuff won't be "fluffy."
- The second thing is to know you have a continuum from fluffy/hard to mushy. If you want it really soft, it's not going to be fluffy. Cook it less if you want to avoid that mushiness.
- I have tried several techniques and far prefer grating in the food processor with the regular shredding blade.
- Also, microwaving with no added water works well to avoid mushiness.
- If you want to add fat, wait till it's done and toss it while hot.
- Oh, rereading your question--definitely "rice" it before cooking! Otherwise it will compact when you do it. It never occurred to me that someone would cook it first!
