📝 Ingredients
Serves 1🥛Dairy & Eggs(3)
- 1 small egg
- 10 g More Protein cream or flour (0.08 cup)
- 50 g natural yogurt 0.1% fat or low-fat quark (1.76 oz)low-fat quark
🫙Pantry Staples(4)
- 7g baking cocoa (0.25 oz)
- 4 g baking powder (0.14 oz)
- 50 g No More Sugar (powder) or erythritol (0.25 cup)erythritol
- 15 g spelt flour (0.12 cup)
👨🍳 Instructions

Beat the egg in a bowl with No More Sugar and mix well.
- 2
Add all remaining ingredients (except baking cocoa) and stir until smooth.
- 3

- 4
Alternately fill a small silicone mold (e.g., 12-cup) with the light and dark batter.
- 5
Bake at 160 °C (320 °F) for about 20 minutes.
- 6
Let cool briefly, top as desired, and enjoy!
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Bake at exactly 320°F (160°C) rather than standard 350°F because sugar substitutes like No More Sugar don't caramelize at high temps and can create bitter compounds above 340°F.technique320°F vs 350°F
- ✓Divide batter into exactly equal portions (use a kitchen scale) before adding cocoa because uneven ratios will cause one batter to be denser and sink during baking.technique50:50 ratio
- ✓Sift cocoa powder before mixing to prevent lumps, as cocoa particles clump due to static charge and fat content, creating uneven chocolate distribution.ingredient
- ✓Test doneness at 18 minutes with a toothpick since sugar-free batters set faster due to altered moisture retention compared to regular sugar.timing18 minutes
- ✓Cool in the silicone mold for exactly 5 minutes before unmolding because silicone retains heat longer than metal, and premature removal causes structural collapse.timing5 minutes
