No yolk: Egg whites and meringue cookies are virtually fat-free, making way for heavy cream in this chocolaty dish. And yet each portion comes in at only 234 calories.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
In a bowl, beat egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup sugar; beat until stiff peaks of meringue form. In a microwave-safe bowl, nuke chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted; let cool slightly. Gently fold chocolate into meringue until just combined. Divide mousse evenly among four 5-ounces glasses. Rinse bowl; add cream and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Top mousse with whipped cream, crushed cookies and marshmallows. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 24.

Back to TopThis is an absolutely decadent "low calorie" dessert. While 234 calories is still a lot, for a dessert not so much, so if you want to give yourself a treat after dinner but don't feel like having a 1,000 calorie piece of cheesecake or 850 calorie regular mousse this is definitely the way to go. You will not even notice the difference, using the unsweetened dark chocolate makes it extra rich but saves on the extra fat and sugar calories that come from milk chocolate or white chocolate.
