Chocolate spread

1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Unsalted Butter;
3 tablespoons Cocoa powder;
¼ cup Lowfat cream cheese;
4 tablespoons 6 tb artificial sweetener;*

Directions

Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the cocoa and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes over low heat. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Stir cheese into the cocoa, then mix in the artificial sweetener to taste. Chill the chocolate spread in a covered container and it will keep for about 3-5 days in the refrigerator, depending on the shelf life of the cheese.

*This works very well but it important to avoid sweeteners containing saccharine as they make the spread very bitter.
