• In another bowl, beat egg whites till they start to become foamy. Add the cream of tartar, continue beating until whites "peak.".
• Fold together egg whites and puddig, pour mousse into 4 individual cups, and bake for 13 minutes.

• P.S. This recipe isn't only "guilt-free" (frequent misnomer) -- it's fantatstically good for you. Unsweetened cocoa can: hyper-boost your antioxidant levels; slow the aging process; prevent viruses (flu, common cold); lower your blood pressure; help prevent cancer, strokes, heart attacks & complications of diabetes; AND produce that endorphinny good feeling (relaxing artery walls, increasing a sense of optimism *like a mood altering drug*) that helps you stick to a diet, lose the weight which overwhelmingly causes those diseases.
• To your health!
