A warm, fudgey, melt in your mouth, cup of chocolate heaven. I’m not sure if I’ve ever tasted a soufflé before and I know I’ve never made one, so as far as I’m concerned, these came out superb. They may look a little flat, but what they lack in appearance, they make up for in taste. I made them for my mom and of course, I had to eat one, too. Actually, I ate three. What can I say, it was necessary for the photograph.
Look, someone had to do it or else you wouldn’t know what three empty ramekins looked like photographed from above. Okay, I can see it on your face, you’re not buying my reasoning. Well, how about this one. They were just so dang good, I couldn’t stop myself. (Don’t judge me.)
Here’s the recipe if you need a little chocolate comfort.

So, I made soufflés “the real way!”
Here’s the second recipe [5] I tried. I wrapped one of the ramekins in parchment paper per some suggestions on the web. YAY!!! I made it rise above the rim. Again, YAY!!!!! However, the ones without the paper looked like my first batch. Makes me wonder if those would have risen if I had used the paper with them, too. I guess you know what that means. More chocolate soufflés in my future. Oh, how I suffer.
Easy way or real way, both ways really were delicious. Extremely delicious actually. So good that I don’t know which way I liked better. I’m almost afraid to try these by someone who really knows what they are doing… I might not be able to handle it. (But, I’ll try.)
