If you like chocolate, you'll thank me for this because it's flipping gorgeous! Its a dark chocolate mousse that I've created. Makes 2 portions, 8g carbs per portion.

80g 85% dark chocolate (I used Lindt)
2 egg whites
1 egg yolk
3g splenda
splash of milk

Melt the chocolate in a bain marie, whilst you're doing that, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Mix the splenda in with the eggs as you go. When the chocolate is melted put the egg yolk and milk in, it will form a ganache-like consistency. Put a quarter of the chocolate mix at a time in with the egg whites and stir gently. Split into two glasses (I used whiskeys tumblers) and put in the fridge for an hour. Then enjoy!! You will!!
 
According to this, 80g of that chocolate would be 30g or carbs. You say it makes 2 portions so surely that's 15g per serving, not 8?

Crikey, how did you wait an hour???
 
That's odd, it definitely says 19g of carbs per 100g on my packet. Have a look when you're next in the supermarket. Green and Blacks do an 85% chocolate that is 22g per 100g, but I've found Lindt to be the lowest carb dark chocolate....trust me I've looked long and hard!

FraddyCat, it was hard, but I licked the bowl out and ate a steak in the meantime!
