A Simple Valentine’s Day Dessert For Two

Whether you’re staying in with your love or having a galentines day, this is the perfect dessert for two. What’s really great about this recipe is that it looks all fancy and pretty but really, it’s so simple! I think it’s the ramekins. They have that glamorous effect on desserts, don’t they? This chocolate souffle is light, airy but also satiates that chocolate craving you get after a good meal with the one you love. Here’s how you make it:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 lemon
• 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• salt

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the inside of the ramekins and then coat the ramekins with the cocoa.
2. Boil a pot of water, place a large bowl over the pot of water. Pour the chocolate chips in the bowl to melt them and stir in the remaining butter.
3. Remove from heat and add in the vanilla and 2 egg yolks. Stir until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, beat 2 egg whites, sugar, pinch of salt and lemon juice together. Pour the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture and stir.
5. Spoon mixture into ramekins. Bake for 25 minutes and serve immediately.
6. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to make it look pretty. Enjoy.
