Chocolate Soufflé
Michelin guide's Instagram started posting recipes, souffle being one of them. This is my 2nd attempt in doing this chocolate souffle, I don't know what I did wrong the first time but it was too watery, it didn't puff, and chocolate was too dark for my taste. I didn't quit and after a few research, made my second attempt. I think I got it right :)
This is meant to be served immediately but I couldn't finish my souffle so I stored the leftover in fridge to eat the next day. I actually preferred it cooled!
