I’ve decided after watching his soufflé video to make my own! Two reasons why I did not follow his exact recipe was because I did not have the ingredients that he used and secondly, I badly wanted chocolate soufflé!
Soufflés are probably one of the hardest desert to make (according to me at least) and this one was a total fail!
WARNING: Do not follow my recipe!
If you want a good soufflé, I suggest that you follow exactly what Gordon tells you and I’m sure that it’ll turn out better than mine did.
A couple of things that did not go as planned:
1. It did not rise as much as it was supposed to
2. The top got a bit burnt
3. After a while one of soufflé exploded! Crazy but true!
It was however, real fun to make this soufflé and believe it or not, it actually tasted great!
So anyway that is how I made it!
And of course if you have an awesome recipe that you’d like to share, you are more than welcome to do so!
Ingredients
150 ml milk
100 ml cream
3 egg whites
3 egg yolks
3 ½ tbsp castor sugar (added to egg yolks)
150 g castor sugar (for meringues)
1 tbsp flour
½ tbsp cornflour
100g dark chocolate
Directions
Prepare the ramequins by lining them with butter and grated chocolate. Put in the fridge while preparing the soufflé.
Preheat your oven at 190 degrees Celcius.
Add the milk, cream and chopped chocolate into a saucepan and bring to boil. Once all the chocolate has melted, put aside.
In a separate bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar and mix well. Then add flour and cornflour and mix until you get a nice smooth texture.
Add the mixture to the milk and cream and mix well. Cook over medium heat until the mixture gets nice and thick. Remove from the fire and set aside to cool.
Next prepare the meringues by whisking the eggs whites until firm peaks are formed. Add the castor sugar towards the end.
Add to the meringues to the chocolate mixture and mix gently.
Fill in the ramequins to the rim and run your finger along the rim.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
