Ingredients

•  cooking spray
• 1⁄2 cup sugar, plus
• 3  tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄4 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 2  tablespoons  unsweetened cocoa, plus
• 2  teaspoons  unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter
• 1⁄2 ounce  unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 5  tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1  large  egg white
• 8  teaspoons  semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly coat 4 (2-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray, and sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon sugar into each of the ramekins, shaking and turning to coat. Set prepared ramekins aside.
3. Combine 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, milk, and cocoa in a small saucepan, stirring well with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 30 seconds or until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add the butter and 1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Cool chocolate mixture 10 minutes.
4. Add flour, vanilla, salt, and egg white to chocolate mixture, stirring with a whisk just until blended. Spoon 2 tablespoons chocolate mixture into each prepared ramekin, and top each with 2 teaspoons chocolate chips. Divide the remaining chocolate mixture evenly among ramekins, spreading to cover the chocolate chips. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until barely set. Cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto dessert plates. Serve warm.
