What is the first thing that comes to your mind when I say: hot air balloon? Travel? Fly? Reach the clouds? Today’s recipe is a Chocolate Soufflé. Soufflé is the French word for blow. And a soufflé works a little bit like a hot air balloon.
It’s a cake that rises thanks to hot air. And it melts in your mouth like a cloud.
This Chocolate Soufflé is a nice change, it’s a light and tasty dessert. You’ll need less than 15 minutes to prepare it and 15 minutes to bake it. You can even decide to do it at the last moment as the ingredients are pretty standard.
My recipe is for 2 servings in individual cups. Make sure your cups or ramekins are oven proof.
If you want, you can double the quantities and make a bigger soufflé. You’ll need an appropriate baking dish and a baking time of 20 to 25 minutes.
Hope you’ll find this treat amazing. As Goethe said: “Man’s greatest achievement is astonishment”.
Bon appétit!
