1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c Confectioners’ sugar
1 c Skim milk
1/3 c Semisweet chocolate chips
5 Egg whites
1/4 c Sugar
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
Lowfat whipped topping;
-optional
Whisk the cocoa powder, confectioners’ sugar and milk in the top of a
double boiler over boiling water until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and
stir until the chips are melted. Stir and lower the heat to simmer. In a
large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar
and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the vanilla and 1/2 cup chocolate
mixture into the egg white mixture. Bring the water in the bottom of the
double boiler back to a boil. Stir the chocolate-egg white mixture into the
chocolate mixture in the top of the double-boiler. Using an electric beater
or a whisk, beat this mixture for a minute or until it is well combined.
Cover the double boiler and continue to cook over boiling water for 25-30
minutes or until the souffle is puffed and set. Serve with lowfat whipped
topping, if desired.
