Wow - this was rich! It was more like a cake-like top with a warm pudding middle (and I made it in a larger bowl (like a cereal bowl) so it was spread out. I might cook it more next time.

Also, I only used 3 t. Splenda - I'm a sugarholic but most of these recipes come out too sweet for me so I've been cutting the Splenda. Next time I'm going to mix it and pour into 2 glass ramekins because it is so rich - 1/2 a serving would do it for me.

WOW!! This is good! I didn't have any SF syrup, so I added some skim milk and some vanilla extract. SOOOOO good.

This, unfortunately, didn't work for me. It didn't blend well after mixing the SB and cocoa powder and turned out more like chocolate chunks with egg "subtance". I think that I'll add some more of the liquids first next time and then the cocoa. Will try again tomorrow.

Yum!

This is the first dessert I've tried that really satisfied my chocoholicosity.

I upped the Smart Balance to 2T, used half an egg (beaten first so it's easy to separate), cut down on the splenda, and added a splash of vanilla. Very tasty.

If you add unsweetened applesauce the splenda amounts can be cut along with the yolk in the egg.

Edited by Ruthxxx: The applesauce is allowed only on Phase II. It does reduce the calories and fat content.

Eh, it had a good chocolate flavor, but the texture was kind of weird...sort of like scrambled eggs, which threw me off. maybe i should try making it with milk instead of the syrup.

I'm wondering if it would help to separate the yolk and egg white. Whip the white into a froth and fold it in to make it more cakey and less eggy?
