ingredients

• 2 eggs
• Low calorie cooking spray
• 3 level tbsp cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp sweetener granules, plus 2 level tsp for the sauce
• 1 level tsp cornflour
• 65g low-fat spread
• 65g self-raising flour

method

1. To make the sauce, put 1 level tbsp cocoa, 2 level tsp sweetener and 85ml water in a saucepan over a medium heat and stir well. Once it’s bubbling, mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp water and add to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until thickened and glossy, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, cream the remaining sweetener with the spread and mix in the sieved flour, eggs and remaining cocoa.
3. Spray 4 mugs with low-calorie cooking spray and pour in the batter. Cover each mug with cling film, pierce with a fork and cook them one by one in the microwave for 30 seconds on high. Check they’re spongy by touching the surface with your finger - they might need another 10 seconds. Leave to rest for 1 minute.
4. Turn the puddings out on to plates and pour over the sauce to serve.
