heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: whipped topping

Coconut cream is lower in calories and can be more affordable.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with higher cocoa content

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Higher cocoa content offers more antioxidants; semi-sweet is often cheaper.

Temper chocolate, stirring until melted. Turn off the heat and let stand.

Beat heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Set aside.

Whip egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form, gradually adding in sugar.

Using a whisk, fold the tempered chocolate into the egg whites. Once fully incorporated, fold in the whipped cream. Transfer to a baking dish if desired, cover and refrigerate until set (about 1 hour).

Serve with shaved chocolate and enjoy!
