This recipe is low fat, but not low calories. Heavy whipping cream will have about the same number of calories, but roughly 1/3 more fat calories. This is a good alternative for those who don't want to support the chocolate slave trade from Ivory Coast. I use this in mochas and like one generous wad on a soup spoon for a mocha, pouring the espresso on first, stirring and dissolving ganache, then topping with the steamed milk. I now use Full City Coffee from Eugene, Oregon (also fair trade) for the best mochas in the world... At least I think so!
