Mexican Chocolate Souffles
Mexicans know how to indulge their senses and if you are looking for rich chocolate soufflés recipes, look no further than this delightful dessert. Both the ingredients and method for this dish are fairly straightforward but remember not to open the oven before the cooking time is up or your soufflés will rapidly sink!
Mexican chocolate should be used in this recipe since it has a unique type of graininess and subtleness of flavor found in few other types of chocolate. If you want to serve up a really rich dish, you could substitute the whipped cream for chocolate sauce or even serve it with both!
