Yup - three of the required 5. Does two servings cover the day or do you need to add a couple of raspberries or strawberries on the top? Maybe both, then it will definitely be five.4

Melt chocolate in a basin over hot water, add a teaspoon of boiling water to help soften if it becomes too sticky. When chocolate is melted take off heat and stir in yolks. Pour carefully into egg whites and mix/ whisk for a minute, pop in ramekins and chill. I suggest overnight for best results.Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin7

Topher said:Sorry Brie, I have to correct you there. (I’ll assume I have years of experience over you and that’s why you don’t know) …. It’s STOLEN chocolate that has no calories. I.e. if you steal someone else’s chocolate they’re the person who bears the guilt for all the extra calories they CHOSE to bring into their house, and their diet; you then steal it for a calorie free contribution (it’s fruit as you correctly point out) to your five a day.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Brie said:Ah! Good to know a bit more about the science of it all!!! Of course I did realise that if you slice things like cakes or desserts like this calories do leak out. Same applies to biscuits - broken ones are much better for you due to calorie leakage. On the other hand whole biscuits have a lot of calories and whole biscuits that are dunked suck in even more errant calories from across the universe making them one of the worst things anyone could possibly eat.6
