I have been trying really hard to watch my caloric intake and my weakness is sweets, especially chocolate. The other day I was desperate to find a chocolate dessert without all the calories of a hot fudge sundae. While searching through myfitnesspal.com, I found a link to myrecipes.com for this Chocolate Soufflé Cakes recipe. This recipe looks amazing for people trying to watch calories/portion sizes. There are only 152 calories per soufflé!
Individual Chocolate Soufflé Cakes
To serve four, use five teaspoons flour and double the remaining ingredients. Doubling the flour would make the base too heavy.
YIELD: 2 servings (serving size: 1 soufflé)
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 4 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa
- 2 tablespoons fat-free milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Coat 2 (6-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray; sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon granulated sugar.
Combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, flour, cocoa, and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook 2 minutes, stirring until smooth. Spoon chocolate mixture into a medium bowl; cool 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
Place egg white in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Add remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat). Gently stir 1/4 of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Spoon mixture into prepared dishes. Sharply tap dishes 2 or 3 times to level. Place dishes on a baking sheet; bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until puffy and set. Sprinkle each soufflé with 1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
