Beat It:
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! Did I say chocolate souffle? Uh-huh! It’s on the dessert menu of any restaurant worth eating at and most likely someone at the table will order it. Problem is a single serving can be as much as 676 calories, 58.2g fat, 51.4g carbs, 14.2g fiber, and 17.7g protein! And you know you can’t stop at just one bite. Fabulously enough though I have the perfect swap for you.
Eat It:
– 4 1/2 tbsp. granulated sugar, divided
– 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 tbsp dutch process cocoa
– 2 tbsp. skim milk
– 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
– 1 large egg white
– 1 tsp. powdered sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 2 (6 oz.) ramekins with cooking spray. Sprinkle each with 3/4 tsp. granulated sugar.
2. Combine 2 tbsp. granulated sugar, flour, cocoa, and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook 2 minutes, stirring until smooth.
3. Spoon chocolate mixture into medium bowl. Cool 4 minutes and stir in vanilla.
4. Place egg in medium bowl and beat with mixer at high speed, until soft peaks form. Add remaining 2 tbsp. granulated sugar , 1 tsp. at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir 1/4 egg whites into chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining egg whites.
5. Spoon into prepared ramekins. Sharply tap dishes 2-3 times to level. Place on baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, until puffy and set.
6. Sprinkle each with 1/2 tsp. powdered sugar. Serve immediately. (Serves 2)
Here’s the fabulous part….one serving (an entire ramekin to yourself!) is only 79 calories, 0.6g fat, and 16.5g carbs! That means you don’t have to share it with anyone! Ok, I have to admit, I haven’t actually tried this baby out yet, so feel free to be the first and let me know how it is.
