4 large organic eggs
1/2 cup organic milk
2 Tbsp organic butter
4 Tbsp organic cocoa
4 Tbsp organic erythritol
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add 2 Tbsp erythritol to butter and stir to dissolve. Continue stirring butter and erythritol, and incorporate cocoa. Add milk and turn heat to medium while whisking. Once fully mixed, remove from heat and allow to cool. Separate eggs. In a small bowl, beat egg whites with remaining erythritol on high speed until soft peaks form. Whisk egg yolks into cooled cocoa mixture (NOTE: if the chocolate mixture is too hot, you will have scrambled eggs, not soufflé). Fold the cocoa mixture gently into egg white mixture. Spoon into 4 small (7 oz) ramekins and bake for 20 minutes.
