Ramadan chocolates and desserts make up an essential component that completes the Iftar and seasonal gifting experience. But as people are becoming more health conscious they look for healthier alternatives to satisfy their sweet tooth.
Confectioners and chocolatiers are now offering an array of healthier indulgences that have organic, gluten-free, sugar-free and vegan properties. Here are some healthy Ways to Include Chocolates in Your Ramadan Diet: Indulge in plain dark chocolate or use it as a healthier option in the baking of cakes, brownies, cookies or tarts. Replace your dessert with fruit where applicable. Drizzle strawberries, pineapples or bananas with dark chocolate, or dip it into a dark chocolate fondue. Combine dates, cocoa, nuts and coconut oil for a power packed energy bar to replenish any energy lost during the fasting period. Invest in the healthy preparation for your traditional desserts. Substitute ghee or butter with canola or olive oil and sugar for honey, limiting the amount of sugar syrup in pastries.
