Hot Chocolate “Soufflé”

We realize it doesn’t look like much, but where it lacks in appearance, it makes up for in flavor. It has the intense flavor of dark chocolate and the lightness of a soufflé without the calories.

2 medium strawberries, sliced (for garnish; optional)

Preparation:
1. Combine milk, egg whites, honey, cereal and cocoa powder in a small saucepan.
