- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tbsp zero calorie sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt
- 4 oz sugar free chocolate chips
- 5 tbsp melted butter, slightly cooled

Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare 4 ramekins with non-stick spray and place them onto a baking sheet.

- Bake for 5 minutes and then place in the refrigerator to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth, let cool slightly.
- Add the cookie ingredients and the melted chocolate to the egg bowl and stir until combined.
- Stir in the food gel. Distribute the batter between the four ramekins and bake for 15-19 minutes.
