Day #4: Nutella Souffle

I'm so happy when I see my Nutella turning out so good.. It's such a WOW to work with.. I never thought that you can do lot more with Nutella apart from just a spread on a slice of bread..

My 7-days marathon with Nutella is getting more n more addicting.. And "Nutella Souffle" is one of the outcomes of this passion...

For all the beliefs about this french dessert, souffles are not that hard to make. All you need to do is beat the egg whites to soft peak and then nothing stands in between you and your souffle. And I believe bakers are always ready for challenges!!

Also, you will find that the souffles will rise up while baking but will deflate and sink down as they cool off (as seen in the image below). This was so amazing to observe.. I'm in love with this dessert..

So lets move on to the recipe...

Ingredients: (2 servings)

2 tbsps Nutella
4 tbsps granulated sugar, divided

1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 large egg white
1 tbsps milk (I've used 2%)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp powdered sugar

Cooking spray

Method:

Preheat oven to 350F.


Coat ramekin (6-ounce) with cooking spray; sprinkle each with granulated sugar.

Combine 2 tbsp granulated sugar, flour, nutella, and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook 2 minutes, stirring until smooth.

Pour this mixture into a medium bowl; let it cool for sometime. Stir in vanilla.

Place egg white in a medium bowl; beat until soft peaks form. Add remaining granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat). Gently stir 1/4 of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Spoon mixture into prepared dishes. Sharply tap dishes 2 or 3 times to level. Add 1 tsp of Nutella in middle of the mixture. This will give souffle a goey center. Place dishes on a baking sheet.

Bake at 350F for 15 minutes or until puffy and set. Sprinkle each souffle with 1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
