The fad of healthy desserts is here today. With the whole world trying to move towards healthier version of desserts, two issues have arisen which have threatened to derail this revolution. The first one being the issue of taste and texture whereas the other one being the safety of the sugar alternatives. With cream, chocolate, milk and sugar dominating the ingredients of desserts, the high caloric counts and creamy textures were what described desserts. But with the advent of newer types of superfoods and newer variants of milk, there has been immense change in the recipe of desserts.
F.A.T. Chef located at Meherchand Market, Lodhi Road is a branch of personal fitness trainers (Fitness Athletes Team Pvt. Ltd.) who believe that a body is sculpted in the kitchen. With this mission in mind, they set about creating recipes which were not only high on the health quotient, but also retained the perfect flavours of the desserts. Starting off with desserts, their plans of expansion include going on to Continental, Indian and Chinese food too.
The second question of the safety of the sugar alternatives gets solved by the use of Erythritol instead of saccharine as a sweetener. With erythritol solving the problem of carcinogenicity associated with saccharine, the decreased calories act as a boon. Their use of premium products does mean that their prices are also premium, but they are quite conservative on comparing them with other boutique bakeries.
Their must tries includes a deconstructed Banoffee pie (INR 280), the Carrot Cake (INR 300) and a Blueberry Cheesecake (INR 280) amongst others. The most essential part that sets them apart are their use of superfoods like almond milk, quinoa to pumpkin and avocado. From diabetics and heart patients to those who sculpt their bodies for competitions, everyone can sink their teeth into these beauties.
They also have a range of Chocolate milk (INR 300) made with almond milk and Carob beans which give a smooth delightful taste. Try out some variations with Caramel, Pumpkin Spice and Ginger Bread. So next time your sweet tooth tingles you, flip over to F.A.T. Chef to satisfy all your sins, albeit the calories. Stay tuned for the review of their other cuisines.
