Healthy, Easy Chocolate Soufflé
Refined sugar free, based on sweet potato & higher in protein
INGREDIENTS: - Coconut oil or butter, for greasing - 4 eggs, separated - 1 tablespoon vanilla essence - 1/2 cup cooled melted ghee, butter or coconut oil (or a combination) - 1/3 cup rice malt, plus 1 tablespoon extra - 1/3 heaped cup cacao powder - 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato (baked is best) - 1½ tablespoons tapioca flour or arrowroot flour - 1/3 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda coconut ice-cream, strawberries and mint, to serve (optional)
METHOD: 1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a tray of 12 muffin cases with a little coconut oil or butter. Alternatively you can use individual ramekins. 2. Using an electric mixer, whisk the yolks for 1 minute, until creamy. 3. Add the vanilla essence, melted ghee/oil and your preferred sweetener, and whisk until well incorporated. 4. Add the cacao powder and mashed sweet potato. Whisk for 20 seconds, until well incorporated, then sift through the bi-carbonate of soda and tapioca or arrowroot flour. Whisk again for 20 seconds, until the mixture thickens and starts to form a ripple trace. 5. Place the egg whites and a pinch of salt in a separate, spotlessly clean bowl. Whisk for 1½ minutes, until soft peaks form. Add half the egg whites to the chocolate mix and gently fold in with a spatula. Add the rest and gently fold until everything is well combined. 6. Add 2–3 tablespoons of mix per muffin case, not quite to the top, because the cakes will rise. 7. Place the tray on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 25 minutes. 8. Once baked, turn the oven off and open the door. Place the tray on the oven door, and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
