OMG! I have arrived in “dessert heaven”! This chocolate sundae is to “Live” for! My dear husband who loves desserts came up with this amazing treat! No added sugar, oil, salt, or flour, dairy-free, and gluten-free! But trust me when I say it is ooohhhhhh soooooo goood!
Let me start by saying that we love sweet potatoes! And our favorite is the Japanese Sweet Potato. They are a very dense, sweet potato that has a pound cake-like texture. You can find them at any local Asian Market or Whole Foods Market. We batch cook these tasty yams and keep them in the fridge for a quick grab.
Also if you haven’t indulged in flavor-infused balsamic vinegars, you are definitely missing a treat. The “Dark Chocolate” balsamic vinegar in this recipe is delectable and a guilt free indulgence! In my opinion I enjoy 4% acidity vinegars that have been flavor infused. The taste of the vinegar is not so “bitter”, but rather take on a sweeter taste.
Some of the best tasting flavor infused vinegars I have indulged in are from Bema and Pas. Check out the large variety of the flavors that are available and purchase some. You can get a 10% discount by using the code CHEFAJ.
Now we can truly have our cake and eat it too!

Saw you and your family on Chef AJ’s show and fell in love with you and your recipes. Adding Japanese sweet potatoes to the nice cream I make in my yonanas machine has made my dessert so much healthier and tastier. I’ll be trying your Mac n cheese next.
Hello Carol! Thank you so much! Glad that you are enjoying your JSPs in your Nice-Cream! There’s nothing like indulging in food that loves you back! Hope you enjoy the Kid’s Mac n Cheese recipe as much as we do! Have a great day because you simply can!
can you tell me what brand of balsamic vinegar you use for this recipe? Thanks
Hello Tandi! In my local market is a health food store that sells flavor infused 4% acidity balsamic vinegar. Check in your local market to see if there are any health food stores or your Whole Foods Market. Online Bema and Pas (www.beemaandpas.com) has very good flavor infused vinegar. But I am not picky to what brand used. I just make sure that it is the 4% acidity because of the sweeter taste. Hope this helps. Have a great day because you simply can!
Thanks Faith. I ordered some from Bema and Pas. Hopefully it will be here soon and I can try this recipe. It looks so good. It is also on our valentines dinner menu that I’m planning. 🙂
Wow, you’re welcome Tandi, I hope that you get all of your required ingredients for your Valentines dinner.
Happy Valentines Day!
