Julia Child never dreamed of a soufflé this easy! Just blend and bake, no egg whites to beat. And Ohhh! The flavor! Rich, creamy and yes, VERY chocolaty. When I served it, a hush came over the room – a good sign! I discovered that a blender makes a fine soufflé, so I put away my egg beater. This soufflé is not only easy, it’s guilt-free, gluten-free, grain-free, GMO-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free. Even better, it’s super-low in the carbs that cause weight gain, especially if you use one of the zero-glycemic natural sweeteners suggested. Pure unsweetened cacao is a nutrient-dense superfood with more antioxidants, polyphenols, and flavanols than almost any other food. Added sugar makes chocolate high-glycemic and problematic for many people. This healthy chocolate soufflé could be a nutritious snack! A soufflé is fluffiest and most beautiful when it’s served piping hot out of the oven. If you’re making it for dessert, you can blend it before dinner and leave it in the blender. Then 20 minutes before dessert time, blend it briefly, pour into cups, and bake. So you can bring it to the table hot and hear everyone’s gasps of pleasure and admiration. This recipe makes two generous 8 oz. cups. If you double the recipe it will make four 8-oz. cups, or six 6-oz. cups. Enjoy!
