I got this recipe from SELF magazine but it's really from Canyon Ranch spa. ***It does call for sugar but you can use Splenda I just don't know the coversion amounts so I am writing sugar and you need to make the substitutions
makes 4, 139 calories ea (based on using white sugar)
sauce
1/3 cup 2% milk ( I used skim)
4 tsp sugar***
1 1-inch piece of vanilla bean(may substitute tsp of vanilla extract in a pinch)
4 tsp brewed coffee
1 egg yolk
Bring first (4) ingredients to a simmer in a medium pan over medium heat, stirring continuously. remove vanilla bean; scrape seeds into sauce. Place egg yolk in bowl and mix in 2 tbl of hot milk mixture. Mix well and add back to pan. cook 1 minute. Stir. Remove from heat; cool. cover and refrigerate.
cakes
1 egg, separated
2 tbl sugar***
1/4 chopped cittersweet chocolate or bittersweet chips
7 tsp of nonfat plain yogurt
Beat egg white in a bowl with electric mixer til foamy. Add 1/2 tsp sugar, continue beating on high, add (5) more 1/2 tsp increments of sugar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat egg yolk with remaining 1 tbl suar until think. Melt choclate in double boiler or microwave. Remove from heat; stir in yogurt; add to egg yolk mixture. Fold in egg white mixture. Cover; refrigerate at least an hour. Heat oven to 325. Coat 4 molds in muffin tin with cooking spray; pour in batter. bake 12 min or until cake springs back when touched.
