1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c confectioners’ sugar
1 c skim milk
1/3 c semisweet chocolate chips
5 egg whites
1/4 c sugar
1/2 ts vanilla extract

Whisk the cocoa powder, confectioners’ sugar and milk in the top of a
double boiler over boiling water until smooth. Add the chocolate
chips and stir until the chips are melted. Stir and lower the heat to
simmer. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the vanilla
and 1/2 cup chocolate mixture into the egg white mixture. Bring the
water in the bottom of the double boiler back to a boil. Stir the
chocolate-egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture in the top of
the double-boiler. Using an electric beater or a whisk, beat this
mixture for a minute or until it is well combined. Cover the double
boiler and continue to cook over boiling water for 25-30 minutes or
until the souffle is puffed and set. Serve with lowfat whipped
topping, if desired.
