What do you think is the most popular dessert in France? Croissants with confiture? And no! All the French, as well as guests of the country are just crazy about chocolate soufflé. The fact is that this dessert not only has a delicious taste, but also a light weightless structure, as well as a small calorie content. Chocolate soufflé is fairly easy to prepare, and the composition of the product allows you to create an exquisite delicacy right now, after reading the recipe, without going beyond the expensive ingredients to the store.
Chocolate souffle - preparing food and dishes
Let's proceed to the preparation of products. The main ingredient of chocolate soufflé is cocoa. Do not save on this product, since it is cocoa that determines the “chocolateiness” of the treat. So, confectionery cocoa powder does not suit at all, but expensive cocoa from Brazil is what you need. One hundred grams of such cocoa costs about 300 rubles, but, firstly, one hundred grams is a lot, and secondly, even the smell of such a product will drive you crazy.
Chocolate souffle can be cooked in different ways - baked in the oven or allowed to stand in the refrigerator. Whichever method you choose, take the best silicone mold.
