The Babiak Ladies have come to be known for their Mocha punch. We get requests to bring this to showers, get togethers and it is a favorite during any celebration over here. Our old version was full of carbs and really bad for us. While this recipe is not a purist recipe because it does have Splenda in it, there is a huge improvement in lowering the carbs. This was successful as it tasted just like our old recipe. We will probably continue to work at making it more of a purist recipe, but for now we don't have to go without during the holidays. If you are following the Trim Healthy Mama plan, Splenda is approved in small quantities as long as you don't use it all the time.
This recipe is certainly for a special occasion and should be used sparingly.
Here's the recipe that my lovely daughter Kaila came up with.
