NOTE: The original recipe calls for 4 custard cups. These are incredibly rich and it is hard to finish one custard cup when divided into 4 servings. In the future, when I make this, I will divide into 6 smaller custard cups and bake for 11-13 minutes or until done. Ingredients: 4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate squares 1/2 Cup butter (I used salted) 1 1/4 Cup powdered sweetener (I used Splenda, erythritol, and xylitol and put in blender till powdered) 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 6 Tbsp. Carbquik (though I'd guess that other LC bake mixes would work too) Whipped Cream to top How To Prepare: Preheat oven to 425. Butter 4 custard cups (3/4 cup) and place on baking sheet (I sprayed the cups with Pam). In large microwavable bowl, cook butter and chocolate squares on high 1 minute or until butter is completely melted. Remove from microwave and stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in powdered sweetener until well blended. Whisk in eggs and egg yolks until well blended. Stir in Carbquik until well blended. Divide batter evenly between custard cups. Bake 13-15 minutes, or until sides are firm, but center is soft. Let stand 1 minute. Carefully run knife around cakes to loosen and then turn out onto plate. Top with whipped cream. Number of Servings: 4 - 6 (see comments) Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Source:

Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Really rich, decadent, and very pretty! Cons: I used erithrytol (sp?) and I think it made the texture a little grainy. This was so good!!! Very rich, sweet, and chocolatey. I think you could use other combinations of sweeteners -- I will omit the erithrytol next time and maybe use splenda and stevia. Try topping it with sweetened whipped cream or LC vanilla ice cream. It makes a beautiful, fancy dessert. Good enough for company. Maybe put a raspberry or two on top of the whipped cream or ice cream. pamaris Junior LCF Member Registered: December 2004 Posts: 23 Review Date: Wed February 16, 2005 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: decadent, rich, super chocolatey. DOES NOT taste low carb Cons: maybe too rich for me. I am rating this a 10 because it definitely does not taste low carb in any way: Here is what I did: I followed the directions except for a few modifications... First I whizzed 1/2 cup erythritol in a coffee grinder. Then I put it in a tupperware container. To that I added the Carbquik, plus 1/2 cup polydextrose and 1 packet of Sweet One. I put on the lid and shook really well, till well dispersed. In a separate container, to my beaten eggs I added 14 drops Sweetzfree (concentrated liquid splenda), 3 capsful of English toffee davinci, and 1 capful of vanilla extract. Because of the poly-D addition, I baked for 17 minutes in 10 oz. custard cups (they were about 1/2 full). Then I whipped some cream with the English Toffee davinci and topped it off with that and sliced strawberries. It was excellent, but I probably won't make it again because I personally don't tend to like chocolate cake. Just needed a fix, and it did the trick. goodgirl748 Junior LCF Member Registered: May 2008 Posts: 0 Review Date: Tue June 10, 2008 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 8    Pros: very chocolatey Cons: very very rich These are very filling! Could split one between two people. If you are craving chocolate, this one is perfect. I used two different sweeteners but still kind of had that artificial sweetener taste. Not enough for me to quit eating, though!
