Short week short post!
As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been on a dessert craze, practicing furiously on the weekdays and weekends. One of my pastry coworkers-turned-friends from a certain place has a fantastic home kitchen that could rival some professional restaurants’. Even though he’s off to start his own venture in Laguna Beach (Socal folks, look out), we’ve been getting together once a week to streamline his recipes and my cleanliness skills – I have a tendency to spread messes which is definitely not the greatest when there are a million dishes to do and it’s time for bed.
A couple weeks ago, he taught me how to make this gorgeous fallen chocolate soufflé tart – again, with some good quality chocolate like I discussed yesterday. I won’t post the recipe, as it’s not mine, but I did want to share photos of the final product, complete with a rainy day background and February-red motif.
Chocolate on chocolate.
Joanne says
So rich! It looks quite fudgy.
Shikha says
It is! A little piece goes a long way with this one.
Consuelo @ Honey & Figs says
Chocolate on chocolate?? Wow, it sounds amazing!! I love how it looks and I’m sure it is delish as well! <3
Shikha says
It’s such a good dessert for February – I want to tweak it to my own so that I can give y’all a recipe!
Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health says
if you are sharing the recipe, are you atleast sending me some?
Shikha says
Haha I want to do both! This is gonna be a recipe I need to play around with first!
Erika says

Pamela @ Brooklyn Farm Girl says
Chocolate on chocolate brings happiness to my heart!
Shikha says
I think it’s one of the best combinations out there!
Jessica @ Jessiker Bakes says
Sounds so delicious!
Shikha says
It is, and the fact that it’s a “fallen” soufflé means that you can’t even mess it up 🙂
Ala says
Um. So. YES. Tell your friend SoCal is ready, and NorCal is also ready for this gorgeous tart (thank goodness I frequent both locales, heh!).
Shikha says
Haha that works out so well for you – I’m jealous!
