Nutella soufflés. Honestly, need I say more? Delicious, certainly not nutritious, but a failsafe crowd-pleaser that will round off any meal with panache, these little pots of delight are so tasty that I can never limit myself to just one.
Go on, treat yourself...
Makes 4
Ingredients:
300g chocolate spread (I mean, we all know which one I'm talking about here but you can always use a different brand...)
4 eggs
2 tbsp icing sugar
Method:
Preheat the oven to 190C/Fan 170C. Grease 4 small ramekins with butter or flavourless oil.
Mix one tablespoon of icing sugar into the chocolate spread. Separate the eggs and whisk the yolks into the chocolate mixture. In another bowl, whisk the whites until they form stiff peaks. Slowly fold the whites into the chocolate mixture, a little at a time, taking care not to beat out the air.
Divide between the ramekins, filling each 2/3 full. Wipe excess batter off the rims so they rise. Bake on a tray in the centre of the oven, for 15-18 minutes until fluffy and risen. Dust the remaining icing sugar over the top and serve immediately – topped, if you like, with ice cream or whipped cream.
