****!!!!! Now I've got to go and have some too!!!!@debrasue I couldn't resist. I've just had another bowl of raspberries and cream. Yummy
Liking both those ideas, thanks!! xOh, and a way to use up choc like that, and make it delicious, is pop a few squares in the microwave, til melted, then stir in cream and nuts (and sweetener, if you like).
Depending on your proportions, you may have a creamy, liquid desert, or you may have recreated nutty choc (if you can leave it to get cold.
Alternatively, use the 90% stuff as one of those trendy choc lumps to make hot choc.
Omg I "tried" the 90% green & blacks one, yuck I've still got that and the Lindt 70% in the fridge. It's the bitterness of them both I can't seem to tolerateOMG...forgot to mention, I have been having a single square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate when I watch TV in the evening...well yesterday when I was shopping i found the Lindt 90% and was so chuffed Id got it. Tried to nibble on it last night, the significant word there was 'tried' oh dear, I would rather have nothing, it tastes like death, do you guys ever acquire a taste for that stuff? Back to 70% for me, although my DN told me today that 1 or 2 squares of any chocolate isn't enough to cause an issue. Will still stick to the 70% though for now, at least until my BG is regulated x
I put mine in a blender with cream, garlic salt and butter and blend until creamy . Just make sure to drain it properly first.
lol.. theres a few good suggestions flying about on this thread about what to use them up in, I don't mind the 70% so much, just a wee nibble followed by a few gulps of coffee haha. The chocologic milk/dark/white is sugar free and people seem to really like it. I bought a wee pack of mixed ones today, I will report back tomorrow when Ive tried one later to Dr Who xOmg I "tried" the 90% green & blacks one, yuck I've still got that and the Lindt 70% in the fridge.

Why don't you use fresh ones?Yep not long finished some, I whisk them together with squirty cream and makes it lovely and fluffy like a raspberry mousse ...then I add a wee bit more cream on the top and a raspberry to make it look pretty haha. Have to say though they take a lot longer to defrost than I thought and tonight they were still partially frozen, made the mousse very cold though so was nice ( hoping it doesn't give me a tummy ache, Im not sure why they say it has to be completely defrosted? )

How do you make your pate?
Simple ... Smoked mackerel pate (take skin off) mascarpone cheese tub, lime zest and lime juice (1 lime) - mix it all up to your taste. I whizz in a food processor. Recipe a bit loose on quantities but I use a packet of fillets and a small tub of mascarpone.
So easy, but super tasty and you know exactly what is in it. Keeps 3-4 days in the fridge easily.
