The most decadent desserts. And sometimes decadent breakfasts. Dark chocolate, caramel, sea salt, nutella and dulce de leche make frequent appearances.
Gordon's recipe is unnecessarily complicated. You can simplify it by mixing the flour, cornstarch, cocoa and sugar in a bowl. Mix the egg and egg-yolk with 7 tbsps of the liquid and gradually beat into the flour/cocoa mixture until smooth. Cook and cool. Melt all the chocolate with the other two tbsps of liquid. Heat in the microwave 1 min, beat till smooth. Proceed as in the original recipe. Much simpler and no difference in the final result.

Sounds like a much easier way to make the hot chocolate soufflé. Thanks for the suggestions, Scotttt.
