Our favorite Chocolate Dessert.


This recipe I found on cooking light. It is still a indulgence....but it is sooooo good. We top it with Vanilla ice cream. It makes 4 small ramekins.....but we are kind of bad and only make 2 :)  You can use semi sweet chocolate for the middle...be we have found dark chocolate is the best....they are almost like a lava cake the chocolate in the middle just comes pouring out when you cut in....mmmmmmmm My hips even think its worth it!

Ingredients


Cooking spray

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 large egg white

4 Dark Chocolate Square ( OR if you only make 2 you will only need 2! )

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Lightly coat 4 (2-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray, and sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon sugar into each of the ramekins, shaking and turning to coat. Set prepared ramekins aside.

Combine 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, milk, and cocoa in a small saucepan, stirring well with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 30 seconds or until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add the butter and 1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Cool chocolate mixture 10 minutes.

Add flour, vanilla, salt, and egg white to chocolate mixture, stirring with a whisk just until blended. Spoon 2 tablespoons chocolate mixture into each prepared ramekin, and top each with one chocolate square. Divide the remaining chocolate mixture evenly among ramekins, spreading to cover the chocolate square. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until barely set. Cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto dessert plates. Serve warm.

Enjoy!
