Delicious Chocolate Souffle

Making a healthy dessert seems like an impossible task. But it's not as difficult as you might think. A decadent dessert is always nice to have in a healthy diet. "Chocolate souffle can be a part of your diet if you prepare it following this recipe" (Vine 32). This dessert is yummy, light, and has an airy taste. In addition, all the ingredients listed are clean and healthy. "Cooking clean starts with choosing clean ingredients, the ones that come from safe sources and are healthy and chemical free" (Vine 10). Choosing clean ingredients is the first step to eating healthy. After eating this dessert, you won't even notice it's healthy!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/2 cup low fat milk
1/2 cup honey
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon lemon juice

I first whipped the egg whites with the lemon juice until they were fluffy. From my experience with making this dessert, I think I should have whipped the egg whites a little more.

Then I added in the honey and mixed it in. Another bonus in this dessert is that you are adding honey not sugar! So no processed ingredients.
Lastly, I folded in the cocoa powder, flour, and the milk. Then I equally divided the mixture into 4 ramekins and baked the souffles.
This was the final result:

In conclusion, the souffles didn't turn out exactly how they should have, but still tasted delicious. The souffles had cracks in them, which they shouldn't have. Other than that, my family and I really enjoyed these healthy little treats.
How do you guys create desserts that are healthy, yet delicious?

  1. I found that there are actually many ways you can make desserts taste really good but still be healthy. Apple sauce is a good substitute for butter which then will make it so you don't have to put so much sugar in the recipe. The apple sauce makes the dessert sweeter and gives it a natural sugary taste. Also using a natural or raw sugar is much better than the process or white sugar. It's usually a lot stronger as well so less is needed which is always good. It not only taste good but it's good for your body as well.

  2. Your muffins look great! To make desserts a little healthier, I usually use whole wheat flour and organic sugar. This keeps the desserts delicious and yummy while making it a little healthier than usual.
