This EASY 5-ingredient Flourless Chocolate Cake is only 136 calories. So rich and delicious, perfect when you want a low-calorie, gluten-free chocolate dessert that won’t set you back, and it’s ready in less than 30 minutes!
The perfect light chocolate dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth, perfect to make when you’re entertaining. Made with just a few basic ingredients; chocolate, pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and eggs. The results are a warm, chocolate treat, somewhere in the middle of a cake and souffle. This is best warm out of the oven, although I did reheat one for my daughter later in the microwave a few seconds and she loved it.
You start by melting the chocolate in the microwave in 45 second intervals.
Then you add the whole egg, maple syrup, pumpkin and vanilla and mix well.
Next you whip the egg whites and fold the chocolate in.
Pour it into 4 ounce ramekins and bake them until the rise. Last grab a spoon and dig in (oops, I added a little whipped cream for fun)!
