Skinny Chocolate Souffle, anyone? Back when I posted about my World Market date night, I suggested that maybe we should have souffle for dessert. Did I mention that I had never made it before? Silly me. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. {hee hee}
Well, I stepped out of my comfort zone in the kitchen and thought I would give the chocolate souffle a try… I am no baker or chef, just a simple housewife who enjoys doing some baking and cooking. When I stumbled upon this Weight Watcher recipe in my binder, I thought, “Ooooo, easy and low-fat!” The easy party? Not so much.
Seriously, on my first attempt, the rose and fell within minutes. Second attempt I added parchement paper collars and filled those ramekins full to ensure the height of the Empire State Building. Mission accomplished… I was so excited when I pulled them out of the oven. Then sighed as I watched them slowly collapse. I still have no idea what I was doing wrong. I had my ups and downs on this one, but somehow managed to get some shareable images.

Nutrition
I can testify to one simple fact: these are melt in your mouth good. I think the hubs was even surprised as to how tasty they are (he likes the deep fried, manly foods. giggle). So, now that I’ve confessed souffles are not the easiest dish to make (especially on your first or second try), I can proudly proclaim that I TRIED. Yay for me! Now it’s your turn to give this Skinny Chocolate Souffle a try. What do you say?

Can I substitute any other milk for the chocolate milk?

Hi Sue. I’m sorry, but I’m not aware of any substitutions for the chocolate milk. Cheers.
