Chocolate souffles are delicious, light, and easy-to-eat desserts that are quick and simple to make. In this recipe, you'll only need softened butter (for greasing), caster sugar, vanilla bean paste, separated eggs, tartar cream, and NESTLÉ Royal chocolates. You'll need to use an electric mixer to beat your egg whites and tartar cream. A pro tip when baking your chocolate souffles is to bake them for a minimum of 10 minutes (without opening your oven). They should be served immediately after baking. This recipe can make up to 4 chocolate souffles.
