Nuttela Brownies
Super easy and delicious!
This recipe was from http://lemondropsfoodie.blogspot.com/ (adapted sources recipe: Dessert 4 Today: flavorfull Desserts with Just Four Ingredients, Abby Dodge).
1/2 cup Nutella
5 tablespoon all purpose flour (I used self-raising flour)
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350F. (i used 160C)
Line 12 mini muffin cups with paper or foil liners. ( i used small cupcakes cup)
Blend all ingredients until smooth
Bake 9-10 minutes or untill a toothpick inserted in the centre still comes out a bit gooey
Remove brownies immediately from pan and let cool on rack.
I overbaked it because the middle was't gooey anymore. This is because thinking that my cupcake cups were bigger, I baked for 12 minutes. And the brownies cracked could be due to because of self-raising flour?
Anyway, the taste was still yummy!!!

Individual Chocolate Souffles Recipe
from http://frenchfood.about.com/od/desserts/r/chocsouffles.htm
I was introduces to souffles by my niece. I tried this recipe as this recipe is for beginners. From what I read in the web, seems like it is normal for souffles to sink a little after cooked, as long as it does not collapes completely. It seems that you would need to serve it immediately
Ingredients:
•1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
•5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped finely
•3 large egg yolks, room temperature
•6 large egg whites, room temperature
•1/16 teaspoon salt
•Butter
•Powdered sugar
Preparation:
How to make chocolate souffles:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 6 individual soufflé ramekins and sprinkle with sugar; set aside.
Melt chocolate pieces in a metal bowl over barely simmering water, constantly stirring. (Even a small amount of overheated chocolate will ruin an entire recipe.) Once the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from heat and stir in the egg yolks.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt on medium high speed until they hold soft glossy peaks. Continue beating egg whites on high speed, gradually adding the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, until the egg whites hold stiff glossy peaks.
Gently stir 1/3 of the eggs whites into the chocolate mixture, then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites. The chocolate mixture should be light and bubbly, and even colored, without egg white streaks.
Spoon your soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins and allow to rest for up to 30 minutes or bake right away for 12 – 15 minutes (I bake for 19 minutes) until risen with a crusty exterior. Serve with a dusting of cocoa or powdered sugar if desired.
I do not have ramekins, so I use papercups (12 cups)
The result: Delicious! Airy and rich!
