souffle, s'il vous plaît!

I got two souffle dishes for my birthday this year (again, thanks a lot!) and I was very excited to try it. Chocolate one, of course. Never made it, never tasted it, never seen it before. Just heard of it, always sounded so fancy. And fancy it is! The taste for sure and that melted chocolate core...mmm.  
Fortunately it's very easy to make, you can hardly go wrong, at least if you're following this recipe: 

Chocolate Souffle for 1+1

2 eggs
25g powdered sugar 
20g flour
80g dark chocolate
70g butter
cocoa powder
ice cream

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. 
Melt the chocolate and butter over a hot-water bath. Mix evenly and cool for a while.
Separately mix eggs with powdered sugar until foamy, then slowly add flour and mix. Add the chocolate mixture at the end, mix all together. 
Brush the souffle dishes completely with butter and sprinkle it with cocoa powder. Fill them with the mixture, about 5 mm under the top of the dish. Bake for 8-15 minutes (Baking time depends on oven and dishes). Serve it hot with ice cream.


Fancy!
