      The quark is being used to create a cake mixture, you cannot taste it in the cake, it is disguised very well.
      The same as you add egg but the mixture doesn’t taste of raw egg 🙂 Give it a try..
      Failing that you could try fat free natural yogurt but I cannot comment how it would work.

      Hi there
      You can buy granulated sweetener in any standard supermarket.. i.e candarel, or supermarket own make.
      I would suggest using the sweetener yes

      You are welcome to try but would need to Syn accordingly.. I don’t feel it would work out the same however. Options contains more than just cocoa powder. The other ingredients help this case to work.

    The options must make the difference I think. Used a different hot chocolate and it was still chocolate omelette. Much more anemic looking than the pics here. Not terrible but not sure it was worth the syns.
