One bite and you'll soon realize that rich chocolate taste is still there but we gave it a healthified twist.  Here's the skinny:

3 eggs > 2 egg whites or 1/4 cup fat-free egg product
6 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa > 1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa

We think you'll agree, Catherine, it's every bit as delicious. It's like falling in love again.
