Health and fertility benefits of Frozen Cappuccino Cups

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

15 whole Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
2 ounces, weight Semi Sweet Chocolate, Chopped Into Chunks
1 pint Coffee Ice Cream, Slightly Softened
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

Instructions

Place twelve cupcake liners into muffin cups.
Crush cookies into crumbs. Add melted butter, then mix to combine. Press crumbs into twelve cupcake liners. Set aside.
Mix softened ice cream with chocolate chunks, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon into cupcake liners. Freeze until firm, then remove from muffin pan (leaving on the cupcake liners) and place in a Ziploc or other airtight container.
To serve, peel off liners, place on a plate, and top with any or all of the toppings. You can also just serve them in the liners.
(Alternately, you can press nuts and/or crumbs into the top of the cups before freezing them.)
