The not so scary soufflé

Guys. Guys guys guyssssssss.

I'm just saying that this is the most fancy sounding dessert that I've ever made! And the secret? It's so easy! If any of you watch Doctor Who (if you don't, you should try it out) But he has a companion named Clara aka "Soufflé Girl". Being the culinary train wreck that I am I thought to myself, "what the heck is that?"

So I googled it.

The definition is this: A light, fluffy baked dish made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients and served as a main dish or sweetened as a dessert. So I started looking for recipes and found this magnificent 4 ingredient chocolate soufflé. It is worth the whole five minutes it took to prep it. So serious. 

just look at this deliciousness

Ingredients:
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs

Directions:
1. Start melting the butter in a pot over medium low heat. When the butter is about halfway melted stir in those chocolate chips baby! When that's almost all liquid, remove from heat.
2. If you are good at multitasking, mix eggs and sugar in a bowl while the chocolate is melting. (all the eggs.. this one doesn't involve separating them)
3. After you have removed the chocolate from heat, stir in the egg/sugar mix until  it thickens up a little more.
4. Pour the mix into your ramekin bowls until they are about 3/4 of the way full. 
5.Bake the bowls at 350F for 20 minutes. When times up wiggle the bowls with tongs. If it still jiggles like jello keep it in there for five more minutes. 

That's all there is to it! I impressed my family with it for sure. Would go great with some ice cream or powdered sugar!!
