Recipe by Marissa Goldberg No yolk: Egg whites and meringue cookies are virtually fat-free, making way for heavy cream in this chocolaty dish. And yet each portion comes in at only 234 calories.

Ingredients

Servings 4

3 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
2 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup heavy cream
6 store-bought chocolate mini meringue cookies, crushed
4 tablespoons mini marshmallows

Instructions

In a bowl, beat egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup sugar; beat until stiff peaks of meringue form. In a microwave-safe bowl, nuke chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted; let cool slightly. Gently fold chocolate into meringue until just combined. Divide mousse evenly among four 5-ounces glasses. Rinse bowl; add cream and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Top mousse with whipped cream, crushed cookies and marshmallows. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 24.

Why this Cold "Hot Chocolate" Trifle works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Cold "Hot Chocolate" Trifle works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
