Alongside creme brûlée, the chocolate soufflé or chocolate soufflé is one of the most adored luxury French desserts. However, because it seems like a difficult dessert (perhaps because of the name itself) , most beginner pastry chefs don't realise that the preparation sounds much more daunting than it actually is.
You may be surprised to learn that a chocolate soufflé requires only 7 basic ingredients and the whole process takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. Whichever option you choose, it is very important that you use the right chocolate. A chocolate soufflé is only as good as the chocolate you use. We will use BAM dark chocolate, which adds just the right bitter-chocolate flavour to the chocolate soufflé with its authentic cocoa flavour.
Further tips on how to make the soufflé can be found here.
If you prefer, you can also make a chocolate soufflé with BAM white chocolate or a soufflé with raspberry puree. You can add fruit to the soufflé recipe or spice up the flavour with BAM spreads. Alternatively, you can make fluffy soufflé pancakes instead of the chocolate soufflé.
