I'm allergic to chocolate, so I made this soufflé with carob powder instead. It was still very good.

The soufflé didn't rise as much as I expected, but it was still delicious. I think I'll try beating the egg whites a little longer next time.

I love the chocolate and cayenne combination, but I want to try this recipe with different types of chocolate, like dark or white chocolate.

I didn't have any cayenne pepper, so I substituted ancho chili powder. The spice from the chili powder nicely balanced with the sweetness of the chocolate.

My sister told me about this recipe but I was skeptical until I tried it a few days back. It was delicious! I also added a strawberry compote to make it even more amazing.
