So.
You thought I was going to blow up eggs, huh?

Well…………
I AM. Just not in the way you probably were thinking.
I, Melisan, am going to teach you the art of making a Hot Chocolate Soufflé.
A soufflé is an egg mixture that is usually combined with sweets or cheese in order to make a puffy and delicate treat. Soufflés are considered an art form (but really, cooking is an easy art form. you can make the most wonderful palette from very simple ingredients, but I digress...) If you can make a soufflé that doesn't fall, you're considered an expert chef. My soufflés rarely fall now, but they did the first time I made them, and I'll tell you some of the secret tricks I used to help keep them up in the recipe. The word “soufflé” comes from a French word that loosely means “puffed up,” which these delicious treats are when done right, but taken literally the word means to “blow up.”
I, personally, like the second meaning I mentioned.
This post was inspired by a blog contest that Vidyala, the creator of Manalicious did recently. Her blog is here. I wasn't able to enter by the deadline, but I still wanted to post the recipe.
So! Here we go!
