This satisfies the chocolate cravings and won't put much of a dent in your calorie budget. Easy to make ahead and have ready for a late night treat. Cooking time is chilling time. Ingredients:
2 cups low-fat ricotta cheese |
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
2 large egg whites, room temperature |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 pinch salt |
fat-free whipped topping |
Directions:
1. In a food processor blend ricotta and cocoa powder until completely smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Place egg whites, sugar and salt into the top of a double boiler (metal bowl over water). Cook and whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, about 3 minutes.
3. Remove bowl from heat and beat with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold egg white mixture into the bowl with ricotta until well combined.
4. Divide into 6 6 oz. ramekins or small glasses and refrigerate at least 3 hours. If desired, garnish with whipped topping and a sprinkle of sweetened chocolate powder!
