Use your favorite chopped nut in place of pistachios, if desired. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
7 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided |
1 ounce semisweet chocolate |
4 1/2 teaspoons butter |
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk |
3 large egg whites |
4 teaspoons chopped pistachio nuts |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Coat 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or custard cups with cooking spray, and dust each ramekin with 1 teaspoon sugar. Place on a baking sheet.
3. Combine chocolate, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until melted. Add cocoa, flour, and salt, stirring with a whisk until blended. Gradually stir in milk; cook over medium heat until mixture thickens (about 3 minutes), stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Cool.
4. Beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-fourth of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture; repeat procedure with remaining egg white mixture, one-fourth at a time. Spoon into prepared ramekins; sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon nuts. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
