Most desserts are too sweet for me. When there's a range of sweetnesses available, I almost always choose one of the least sweet options. When eating chocolate, I usually go for extra dark (70-90%).
However, it never occurred to me to simply make my own less-sweet desserts. I'm usually too lazy to bake, but it could be a lot of fun to do as a special occasion. I want to make extra-dark chocolate brownies, semi-sweet spiced cookies with nutmeg or masala curry mixed into the dough, and other concoctions. I want to play around with different sugar levels to see what works. The results could be evaluated and graphed while stomachs are filled. This could be a total disaster or it could be a lot of fun, or perhaps both.
I don't even *own* any sugar right now. I remember a woman I dated a while back was shocked by the fact that I had many different kinds of tea but no sweeteners.
Anyone want to play along? Ping me and we'll figure out a date to do this.
