Peanut
Butter Chocolate Angel Bites
- Angel Bites:
5 large egg whites
1/3 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Peanut Butter Chocolate Filling:
1/4 cup reduced fat peanut butter
1/2 cup fat free cream cheese
1/4 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup skim milk
6 reduced fat chocolate wafers, coarsely chopped or crushed
3 tablespoons fat free fudge topping
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil a 13x11 inch-baking sheet. Set aside.
- Make Angel Bites: Place
egg whites in a medium mixing bowl. Whip on high speed using
an electric beater or wire whisk until frothy.
- Add SPLENDA® Granulated
Sweetener, vanilla and salt. Mix on high speed until medium-stiff
peaks form (approximately 20 to 30 seconds).
- Spoon rounded tablespoons
of egg white mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated
350°F (175°C) oven 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
from pan. Cool.
- Make Filling: Place peanut
butter, cream cheese, SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener and vanilla
in a medium mixing bowl. Mix 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed.
Scrape sides and mix until blended with no visible lumps. Slowly
add milk while mixing on low speed. Stop mixer and scrape sides
of bowl. Mix approximately 1 minute or until well blended. Add
crushed or chopped wafers. Blend on low speed until just mixed
(approx. 30 seconds). Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Assemble Angel Bites:
Just before serving, sandwich Angel Bites with filling. Place
filling on the bottom of one Angel Bite and top with another
so that the bottoms of the Angel Bites are facing each other
and the filling is sandwiched between them. Repeat with remaining
Angel Bites.
- Garnish with Fat Free
Fudge Topping.
