NO SUGAR, NO FAT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE, 100 CALORIES PER SERVING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In one bowl, mix together dry pudding mix, unsweetened cocoa, Splenda, and oat flour. Add the milk and whisk 2-3 minutes until pudding mixture thickens.
• In another bowl, beat egg whites till they start to become foamy. Add the cream of tartar, continue beating until whites "peak.".
• Fold together egg whites and puddig, pour mousse into 4 individual cups, and bake for 13 minutes.
• 100 calories per serving! Garnish with fruit & sugar-free fat-free whipped topping if desired.
• P.S. This recipe isn't only "guilt-free" (frequent misnomer) -- it's fantatstically good for you. Unsweetened cocoa can: hyper-boost your antioxidant levels; slow the aging process; prevent viruses (flu, common cold); lower your blood pressure; help prevent cancer, strokes, heart attacks & complications of diabetes; AND produce that endorphinny good feeling (relaxing artery walls, increasing a sense of optimism *like a mood altering drug*) that helps you stick to a diet, lose the weight which overwhelmingly causes those diseases.
• To your health!

A LOW FAT, AMAZING, WARM CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 F, position rack in lower third of the oven.
• Start a kettle of water to have boiled for later.
• Put the chocolate and liquid(s) of choice in a heat proof bowl, and place over a pot of barely simmering water.
• Stir frequently and just before it is all melted, remove from the heat, continuing to stir until completely melted.
• Beat the eggs with the sugar on low until blended then beat on high for 3-4 min, until eggs resemble a softly whipped cream.
• Fold 1/4 of the egg mixture into the chocolate, stopping before it is completely mixed. Then fold in 1/2 of the remaining egg mixture, stopping before completely mixed. Then fold the rest of the egg mixture just until you get an even colour.
• Divide into 6-8 ramekins (if need be this is where you can place in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking).
• Set them in a large baking pan and place in the oven. Poor boiling water into the pan until it reaches 1/2 way up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake until the centre of the mousse reaches 155 F, if you don't have and oven proof thermometer bake for 14-16 minute.
• Allow 10 minutes for mousse to sit, after removing from the oven.
• You can play around with the flavours and texture of this mousse by changing the liquid used. Try using 1/4 cup of milk or coffee instead of the water, or you can use 1/2 a cup of cream instead of the water.
• I usually use my favourite bar of dark chocolate instead of the bittersweet chocolate, for an even more delicious flavour.
