this may be a stupid post so i apologize beforehand.

i am looking for a sugar-free recipe for something similar to the olive garden's torta di chocolate.

I know the dessert itself is sugar free and I had a hard time coming up with an exact recipe, but I found this.....[i hope it helps!]

"I found this recipe in a magazine, and realized it would be really easy to tweak into low carb:

Ingrediants:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 oz. dark lc chocolate bar broken into "chip-like" pieces
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 tsp. salt
Equivalent to 1/3 cup granulated sugar (splenda)
2 egg whites
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup heavy cream

Directions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease eight 6 oz. ramekins and dust with 2 tbs of splenda.
In the top portion of a double brioler or in a bowl set over simmering water, combine butter, chocolate, cocoa powder and salt until melted.
Remove from heat.
In another bowl, beat egg white, cream of tartar and 2 Tbs. splenda for 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg-white mixture into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
Pour mixture into prepared ramekins until each is 3/4 full.
Bake for 5 minutes or until edges are set.
Meanwhile, whip heavy cream and remaining splenda into soft peaks.
Invert each cake onto serving plate and top with a dollop of the whipped cream.
Top with slied strawberries if desired.

I haven't tried this yet, so it might take some experimentation with the sugar substitute to get it right, but it sounds delish and the picture in the magazine looks FAB!"
