Title: Choc Mousse Souffles Pge 138 CFM&Y2 & CFM&Y1 pge 64
Post by: judydawn on February 15, 2015, 02:25:04 am

Thought I'd give this recipe a go as I have never tasted a souffle let alone bake one.

I beat the egg whites for 4 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally.  Once the first tbspn castor sugar was added I beat it for 1 minute then another minute after the remaining tbs sugar.

Cooked in preheated air fryer 180^o, had to skip the 'heat a baking tray' step as I had nothing that would fit into the a/f basket.  It didn't seem to make any difference, I was delighted with the results.

I cooked one of them for 16 minutes and left the other in for 20 minutes but I couldn't really see any difference in the finished dish.  I did try them both for the purpose of this review plus the fact I don't know what happens to a cold souffle and I didn't want to waste too much ;)  There were a few little bits which fell from the dishes and these were delicious too, nice and crunchy as were the tops of the souffles themselves.

The original booklet provides nutritional values and gives a calorie count of 285 for this recipe.  They're not overly sweet and as the chocolate custard can be made up to 2 days ahead, this dish is something that you can whip up as a last minute dessert for your special guest or your DH on a special occasion.

First photos show souffle at 16 minutes and the rest are all of the 20 minute one.  Those who have made souffles before, is this how the inside should look?

Judy I haven't had a soufflé in years but that's how I remember them looking. It looks great. I'm too thinking I might need to look more closely at this book.

Judy, I'm not sure how they are supposed to look either.  Have only made one I think, many years ago and can't remember how it was to be honest but yours looks lovely.  :)
