Yes!! it is Soufflé time! Dave and Linda from Monkeyshines in the Kitchen chose Soufflés as our November 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge! Dave and Linda provided many of their own delicious recipes plus a sinfully decadent chocolate soufflé recipe adapted from Gordon Ramsay’s recipe found at the BBC Good Food website.
First off, the molds, we needed to put some butter in them and cocoa which was in here subtituted by a kiwicha based strawberry flavor. doesn´t it look cute?
The next step we took was to make a ganache (it´s pink!) and since the whole idea of changing the cocoa was to make this soufflé a bit more interesting we also changed the chocolate base for a cottoncandy colored one
then for the final mix we whisked the eggs and folded in the eggy-ganache mixture, since we don´t have the proper tool (don't really know why...) we manage as we could and it looked something like this:
the mix went into the molds and soon enough we were watching them grow and grow until it seemed they were merging together! worring moment right there!
At last! soufflés ready for eating! by the time this were done my father (oficial taster) had gone to dreamland but we made it pretty anyway and left it ready to eat. My sister ate one at that time and another one the next day and she liked the second one better, something about the eggy flavor she said.
Being the cook I just liked them all, haha but really this challenge was the first one to get a second try not because the first one was bad or anything but because it was enjoyable for all. Here´s a final picture of the chocolate original.
Hmm yummy! ^^
Later!!
