Only 2 more weeks left of @healthsquared and @sweetsssj Six Week Health Challenge. So what is this weeks challenge? Make a healthy dessert, that will satisfy your sweet tooth but won't pile on the pounds. Rocky road is a particular favorite of mine so I decided so see if I could find a way to make a healthy version. This rocky road is packed with protein, antioxidants, and healthy fats, it also really satisfies a sweet tooth.

Mixing in the coconut is actually so satisfying
Step 4
The chocolate mixture in all it's glory
- Poor in your mixture into bowel lined with greaseproof paper
- Cut your tasty chunks into roughly 1cm squared cubes
- Drop the chunks into the chocolate mixture
- Place a few spoonfuls of Proteinella on top of the mixture also
- Leave in the fridge for a couple of hours
- Cut into cubes and taste the goodness!
Step 5
I sprinkled a little bit of coconut (So much coconut) on top to make it a little more aesthetic
Enjoy! These are actually really really good, much better than the pancakes I made in week one. They are quite rich so don't over indulge but man are good with some milk, sadly I don't think my camera captured how good they are. In future, I also think just a little bit of rum would make the flavors really pop.
Thanks for reading guys :)
