These light airy little puffs of chocolate kept me from straying from Phase 1! Delicious! Ingredients:
3 egg whites |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2/3 cup splenda granular (i used a little less than 2/3) |
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 handful of crushed almonds (optional) or 1 pecans (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla. Beat until the whites form soft peaks. Slowly add sugar substitute and cocoa; beat until stiff peaks form, and mixture becomes glossy.
3. Optional - Fold in nuts.
4. Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls on to a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
5. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
