Next to baking the tricky one in cooking for me is making puddings,souffles etc.I always make custard pudding which my mom makes with the Brown & Polson ready made mix and just make variations by adding fruits,cocoa powder,nuts.I had tried several recipes of souffle but always it would be a flop,and finally stopped trying.I was in Chennai last week and picked up some cooking chocolate when shopping for ingredients which I usually don't get it in my place.So my urge to try out the souffle also increased and it was a hit this time.This recipe is again from my collections
