If sugar is not an issue for you, use regular chocolate ice cream topping instead of sugar free. The malitol is sugar free-gluten free, but can cause an upset stomach in many people. The use of Greek yogurt folded into the whipping cream (optional) helps to reduce the lactose sugar in the dish. The bean cake is a much lower carb option, and the whipped cream and yogurt are sweetened with stevia.
