CHOCOLATE MINT SOUFFLES FOR TWO
Recieved this recipe from Taste of Home and couldn't wait to try it. I love that they only served two so perfect for DH and me when I wanted something special for just us. They came together easy, were light, fluffy and oh so chocolate. It calls for mint extract but I didn't have that so just used vanilla and it was still good. Think it'd be really good with the mint and maybe a little mint leave as garnish.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure the butter and chocolate are completely melted before adding the eggs.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. Over-beating will make the soufflés tough.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Over-mixing will deflate the soufflés.
- Bake the soufflés immediately after assembling. They will start to deflate as soon as they are removed from the oven.
- Serve the soufflés immediately with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mint soufflés are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for special occasions. They are light and airy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a refreshing mint aftertaste. With a little care and attention, you can easily make these soufflés at home and impress your guests.
