Chocolate Soufflé
There is a famous recipe book titled "La Pâtisserie d'aujourd'hui" by Urbain Dubois, a culinary researcher who was active in France in the 19th century.
It was published in 1894, over 120 years ago.
Les Années Folles has taken the "Soufflé au Chocolat" recipe from that book and given it a modern twist.
This soufflé is characterized by its delicate melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich chocolate flavor, achieved by baking 70% French cacao chocolate with silky meringue.
Eight reasons to choose Souffle au Chocolat
8 Reasons to Choose Soufflé au Chocolat
No.1
Made with carefully selected domestic eggs
Our Soufflé au Chocolat uses carefully selected, safe, and secure domestic eggs. We source our rich and elegant tasting eggs from contracted farms.
No.2
The secret to its moist texture lies in the fresh cream.
We use 35% milk fat cream from the Konsen district of Hokkaido. Les Années Folles' fresh cream is finely textured and uniform, creating a moist consistency that allows you to experience the gentle taste of raw milk.
No.3
Made with Madagascar vanilla
Madagascan vanilla has an elegant, somewhat comforting and nostalgic aroma.
No. 4
Made with French chocolate
By using French chocolate with 70% cacao, a rich flavor and the aroma of cacao will fill your mouth.
Number 5
The balance between pasteurization and flavor
The Soufflé au Chocolat is slowly baked in a low-temperature oven. Baking it in a larger size enhances its moistness and makes it less prone to losing its shape, ensuring it remains in its most delicious state. When serving, you can cut it neatly by heating a knife over a direct flame before slicing.
No. 6
Deliciousness born from skilled techniques
We use a hot water bath to bake it moist, but the challenging part is that the hardness of the Soufflé au Chocolat changes depending on the amount of steam. The meringue also requires careful preparation and folding, and the deliciousness is created by the delicate techniques of a skilled patissier.
No. 7
