This is a terrific recipe. Tried it tonight as my first soufflé experiment. Rose perfectly, with the full flavor of the chocolate and the cardamom. I added some vanilla liqueur and homemade dark chocolate sauce over top the finished product for some extra awesome. Thanks for posting it!

I love making souffles, but often do savory ones. I’ve never actually make a simple chocolate souffle. I like your recipe with cardamom and bittersweet chocolate, so I’m going to hang onto it for when the occasion arrives.

Chocolate soufflé is exactly what I want when the weather turns gray. Always has been. This a true November treat for me. Looking at the photos is almost - almost! - enough.

Thank you for that treat, Bea.

Thank you very much everyone for your encouraging and friendly comments. What would I do without you? As to the cups, since many of you asked, they were purchased a while ago in (early summer) a local store in Boston, but you can purchase them on line as well. The name of the company is ASA. So check with them, and good luck!

Answer to question about size. Yes the souffle behaves the same, except that it seems to rise more in a smaller cup. And of course, if using a large mold, prolong the cooking time. Hope this helps, and have fun with them. Because they are really fun to make, watch rise too, n’est-ce pas?

Also, in answer to Gracianne’s question about the fish, I was told by uncle Nev that it is best to go trout fishing in May. So even if we will be in Dublin in December, I will have to wait May to actually go fishing. I guess it means another trip, no complaint there. This lake is one the biggest in Northern Europe, and the scenery seems stunning. The Connemara is a beautiful region.
