Chocolate Souffle

So last week we were watching Master Chef (anyone else watch this show?) and the challenge on that episode was to make a chocolate souffle. Apparently they are one of the hardest desserts to make correctly, very technical, and you must serve it within 90 seconds of baking or it collapses in on its-self and is ruined.

Nathan really wanted to try making them. We got everything we needed, only had to but the dishes, but then ran out of time that night. We tried again the next night and were successful! Nathan was hilarious, super serious and focused - I think he may have been imagining Chef Ramsey watching him from the family room. They turned out great, but didn't taste good at all. Neither of us were very impressed and I don't know if it's cuz we did them wrong or we just don't like chocolate souffle's.

None the less here is a picture sequence of the final moments - note the look of concentration on Nathan's face.

They LOOK amazing! We are fans of Top Chef on Bravo, and it's true- a souffle is incredibly difficult to nail. Props to Nate for making it successfully! Too bad it didn't taste as good as it looked. :)

They look GREAT. You can coma make them for me anytime you want. We can probably tweak the recipe to make it taste better.
Nathan....YOU THE MAN!!!!!
