One of my favorite chocolate dessert recipes is this yummy chocolate soufflé recipe.
Light, creamy and delicious, this luscious chocolate recipe is surprisingly easy to make.
There are a few steps involved but you can see that none of them are difficult or overly time-consuming.
Timing is crucial with a soufflé as they really do need to be served as soon as they come out of the oven. Time out of the oven means a flatter soufflé.
Use the best quality chocolate that you can find, preferably a dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate. The dark chocolate not only gives a richer flavor, it’s healthier too.
Once you see how easy this chocolate soufflé recipe really is, you will put in on the menu often.
It’s a perfect dessert to top off a romantic dinner for two, but the ladies will thank you too if you serve this at your next girls night in.
