Mini Chocolate Souffles'

I saw a recipe that inspired me to create this dessert. At first, I was afraid to try it. Souffle' is a tough dessert to master but I was pleasantly surprised by the results!

For the Souffle`:

  8. Bake in hot (425F) oven for 8-12 minutes until crust forms on top.

Recipe Notes

Make sure to bake this dessert when you are ready to eat it! Don't bake it ahead! You can make the batter in the morning and bake it at night but, if you get a craving for it late in the afternoon/evening, just make the souffles, up to the point prior to baking it, and place them in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes before baking. Souffle' batter has to be cold to be successful!! :)
