Chocolate Custard

A velvety smooth, rich-tasting chocolate dessert that saves a
whopping 130 calories per serving when using this sugar substitute.

2 cups skim milk	3 packets Sweet One® granulated sugar substitute
¼ cup granulated sugar	2 large eggs, slightly beaten
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder	1 teaspoon chocolate extract
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Yield: Makes 8 servings

In a medium saucepan, whisk together skim milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and Sweet One. Whisking constantly, cook 6-8 minutes, until mixture boils and thickens.

Remove saucepan from heat. Stir ¼ cup milk mixture into beaten eggs, stirring constantly to avoid curdling. Pour egg mixture back into saucepan and stir in extract. Cook, stirring constantly over low heat 2-3 minutes or until custard thickens. Do not let custard come to a boil.

Pour custard into individual dessert cups or a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
