Moist and fluffy, sweet yet savory, and altogether unlike anything youve baked before, this pepper-flecked soufflé is one slam-dunk date-night dessert. Just pop by the grocery store for a few easy-to-find ingredients and head over to your loved ones place. (Remember, too, you can always use our “scale recipe” tool if you prefer to work in ounces or want to make more or fewer servings.) Forty-five minutes later, youll have a towering dessert thats easy to make yet designed to dazzle.
We like the way black pepper spices things up, providing a pop of heat that mingles winningly with sweet sugar and rich dairy. That said, this is definitely a savory soufflé, so we like to balance out the flavor by topping it with something sweet, like vanilla whipped cream and glazed strawberries. And feel free to swap out that pepper for other stuffa lavender-laced soufflé, for instance, could make for a serious upgrade from that same old Valentines Day bouquet. Whether you use your imagination or stick closely to the steps below, youre bound to delight that someone whose happiness means the most. And what, we ask you, could be better than that?
