Ingredients

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup low fat milk
¼ cup egg substitute
½ cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (Grand Marnier, Curacao, Triple Sec, or brandy)*
½ cup heavy cream
3 cups sliced strawberries

Directions

Place chocolate and milk in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until chocolate melts. Set aside.

Stir together egg substitute, SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener, cornstarch and Grand Marnier in a small mixing bowl. Add to chocolate mixture. Stir constantly. Cook over medium heat while stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken (approx. 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and pour into the bowl of a blender or food processor. Blend or process briefly (10-20 seconds) to make a more creamy texture. Pour into medium bowl and cover.

Refrigerate chocolate mixture approx. 2-3 hours or until cool. Whip cream until stiff and fold into chocolate. Refrigerate overnight to set. Will keep refrigerated for 3 days.
