What's For Dessert?

My husband, who literally lives for anything chocolate, found a vintage recipe for individual chocolate souffle in a circa 1979 Better Homes & Gardens cookbook that once belonged to his mom, and asked me to make it. Since we love the combination of chocolate and heat, I decided to change it up a bit... I substituted the cream cheese & chocolate syrup called for in the recipe with Kraft Dark Chocolate Indulgence (I just happened to have a few tubs of it in my fridge!), and then added some chipotle hot sauce into the mix.  I sprinkled the ramekins with a mixture of sugar and chipotle chili powder, and the whipped cream topping has a dash of chipotle powder on top. If you can't get your hands on the Kraft Indulgence, use 8 oz. cream cheese softened and ½ c. chocolate syrup in its' place. And don't be afraid of the "heat". It adds a delightful flavor to the dish. I must admit, this is by far one of the best chocolate souffles I have ever put into my mouth! Check it out; it will definitely make someone in your life weep with happiness!
