Mint Chocolate Souffle

Happy Easter everyone!

I was bored to death on a friday long weekend (sad, I know) then I decided to bake myself some cake.
There are many ways to make a souffle, they are all fairly simple. The hardest part is to make the souffle lift. It also requires a lot of beating of the eggs.

The tip to beating the egg white is that it cannot have contact with ANY water and fat, or else it won't set.
Eat it while it's hot! even better, with ice-cream!

Ingredients:
- 1tbsp on cocoa powder
- butter ( enough to
- 2 eggs ( seperate your yolk and white)
- 80g of mint chocolate chopped (or your choice of chocolate)
- pinch of cream of tar tar
- 100mL of milk
- 75g of white sugar
- 10g of corn flour
Steps:
preheat oven at 180
1) On medium heat, simmer the milk, add corn flour, until thickens
2) add in your chopped mint chocolate
3) in a seperate bowl, beat the 2 egg whites with cream of tartar, slowly add in the sugar, you will know it is ready when you lift the beater and the egg white is ..pointy
4) add the egg yolks one by one into the chocolate mixture, mix it ( make sure the mixture is chilled when you add in the yolks)
5) Add 1/3 of the egg whites in the chocolate mixture and fold it in slowly ( repeat with the rest of the whites)
6) butter the souffle containers generously, then sprinkle with cocoa power+sugar, make sure the containers are covered in the cocoa.
7) put in your mixture and bake for 6 mins!
