Recipe Brought to you by FoodFit

This recipe serves: 8
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup 1% milk
1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 8 ramekins with cooking spray and sprinkle
them with the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Combine flour and salt in
a small saucepan. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a boil over medium
heat, whisking constantly, and cook until thick, about 3 minutes. Remove
from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Whisk in the instant coffee,
vanilla and egg yolks. Add the chopped chocolate and stir until it is
melted. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large bowl and set aside.
Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer
and whisk on high speed until the eggs are foamy. Gradually add half of
the granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Continue beating and
slowly add the remaining sugar. Gently fold 1/4 of the egg white mixture
into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the remaining egg white mixture. Spoon
the batter into prepared ramekins. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffy and
set. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
