Gorgeous chocolate souffles dusted with powdered sugar and currants can be a healthy treat
When dessert is this decadent, it’s hard to believe it can be good for you. But dark chocolate has a ton of antioxidants (even more than raspberries or blueberries) and, combined with the eggs, can be a delicious, nutritious treat.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Sugar Plus additional sugar for dusting ramekins
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • 2 tbsp Dutch Process Cocoa
  • 1 tbsp Salted Butter Plus additional butter for coating the ramekins
  • ½ cup Whole Milk
  • ½ oz Chopped Dark Chocolate
  • 2 large Eggs One beaten yolk, two egg whites
  • 2 Store Bought Dark Chocolate Truffles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  • Butter two (2) six ounce (6 oz) ramekins and then dust with sugar.  
  • Cream butter and half the sugar together, add flour and cocoa powder, and mix until it resembles cornmeal. 
  • Bring milk to a boil in a small pan, add chopped dark chocolate, and whisk until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until they show soft peaks then gradually add the remaining sugar. Add the cocoa/flour mixture to the milk/chocolate mixture and softly stir in 1/4 of the egg whites.  Fold the remaining egg whites, maintaining as much volume as possible. 
  • Divide the mixture between the two ramekins, push one truffle into the batter of each, and bake in the middle of the preheated 400 degree oven for 15-18 minutes, or until puffed.  The center will be molten.  
  • Serve immediately (extra yum with whipped cream).
  • There will be none of this leftover to store.  You’re welcome!  Enjoy!

Notes

Antioxidants like those in dark chocolate and cocoa have been observed to reduce inflammation and reduced risk factors for disease.
