IMBB 20 - Raspberry Soufflé with Crème Anglaise

Wow! Two cooking events in one month.. in one weekend no less!

Kitchen Chick hosts this month's IMBB 20 — Soufflés, and here is our last-minute entry — raspberry soufflé with crème anglaise (recipe courtesy CIA's Baking & Pastry). The soufflés rose about an inch up out of the 4-ounce ramekins, displaying their pretty pink color, topped with a lightly-browned "cap".

We dusted them with cacao nib powder (leftovers from our SHF 13 nib tuiles) and spooned on some crème anglaise before we ate them.

I felt that the soufflé was way too sweet, so I will probably cut back on the sugar next time, maybe by as much as half. But, otherwise, the raspberry flavor was intense and the texture of the soufflé itself was like that of meringue — light and airy.
