I created this recipe when I wasn't yet on the ACD, and I haven't tried to adapt it yet. There are some that can't be adapted if they contain too much sweetener and/or gluten. But it seems a worthy challenge--will let you know if I give it a try (and hope you'll come back and tell us if you do). :) Sadly, I’m not sure it could be done too easily.

I am guessing sucanat is not good for candida and of course, the chocolate would have to go, sadly! Thank you! Ricki, How should I modify this recipe for ACD?

These came out wonderful. I started to prepare them, but then I had to go out with my kids, so I didn't mix wet and dry ingredients. After 2 hours I finished making them and they were fabulous. The next day they are still moist and delicious. There wouldn't be any left if I didn't increase the amount by 4. lol We are expecting visitors today and I am sure they'll love them too.

It really is a delicious combination of flavors, and well worth trying. Kalyn, Thanks so much for visiting my blog! I use Sucanat so often, I just assume I've mentioned it before. Sorry about that! You can also read one of my earlier articles in which I mention it (and other natural sweeteners) at http://www.rickiskitchen.com/articles/rh_recipe2.html. Sally, Yes, very tasty indeed! And if you like pumpkin with chocolate, you'd definitely like these. I'd love to know how a GF version comes out. cmoore, Thanks for visiting, and welcome to my blog! I'm so glad the book will be of use. It's a well-read reference source in my house. It could be organized a little better (sometimes you have to skip around the whole book to find what you're looking for), but I think Pitchford is brilliant! Also, THANK YOU for this delicious recipe. The photo on your blog really did look scrumptious. If I can figure out a vegan version, I'm there! VeggieGirl,

Thanks for the recommendation, and for your comment. Here's what I used to make the pistachio souffles, except I used vanilla extract and a bit more pistachio: 1 tbs melted butter, to grease 60g (1/4 cup) caster sugar 125ml (1/2 cup) milk 1 vanilla bean, split 2 tbs butter, extra 2 tbs plain flour 3 eggs, separated 40g (1/4 cup) pistachio kernels, finely crushed To make the souffle, preheat oven to 180°C. Brush two 280ml ovenproof ramekins or cups with melted butter (use upward strokes). Sprinkle with 1 tbs of the caster sugar to coat the inside. Combine the milk, vanilla bean and remaining sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Slowly bring to the boil and remove from heat. Remove vanilla bean. Use a sharp knife to scrape the seeds from the bean into the milk mixture. Discard bean. Melt extra butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add flour and stir until mixture is smooth and begins to bubble. Remove from heat and gradually add the milk mixture, stirring until combined. Return to medium heat and stir until mixture thickens and comes to the boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes to cool. Add two egg yolks and pistachios and stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Use an electric beater to whisk the 3 egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Use a metal spoon to fold one-quarter of the egg whites into the pistachio mixture until combined. Fold in the remaining egg whites in 3 more batches. Spoon the mixture into ramekins or cups and cook in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until well risen. “Healing with Whole Foods” sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for!
