IMBB#20---Frozen Chocolate Souffles with Warm Raspberry Sauce

It's IMBB time...and this month, it's all about souffles.

Hosted by Kitchen Chick, I expect all kinds of interesting souffles from this event.

I confess, I'm not a big fan of souffles. I just feel it's an awful lot of work for what? in the end.

But hey; I'll make them. Especially if we're having company.

No guests this time, but I found a recipe on the Food & Wine site (you have to be a subscriber or news stand buyer to access the site, so if you want the recipe, just let me know), and liked the idea of a frozen souffle. Worth a try.

Chocolate melted by hot cream, with raspberry liqueur added.

Eggs, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla and more liqueur mixed together, cooked over simmering water while beating with an electric mixer; remove from heat and continue beating until cooled.

Beat more cream, till soft peaks form.

Fold the egg mixture into the chocolate, then fold the cream in till no streaks remain.

Spoon into already-frozen ramekins, and freeze at least three hours.

Serve a warm raspberry sauce on the side.

Smooth, light, good chocolate taste, with the raspberry emerging as almost an afterthought. Very, very nice.
