Guilt Free Chocolate Soufflés

I wanted chocolate....gooey yummy chocolate...but I also wanted to be good and healthy! So, I made these!! :) first you need to make a creme anglaise to eat with them!

Creme Anglaise
4 egg yolks
1 cup almond milk
3 Tbsp. honey
3 Tbsp. gluten free flour
1 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. vanilla

Whisk together eggs, milk and honey,
Put flour in a cup and pour a little of the milk mixture into it, mix with a fork until as smooth as you can, then strain it into the rest of the milk mixture. Cook on a medium heat, whisking constantly, till slightly thickened, and sticks well to a metal spoon. Stir in butter and vanilla, refrigerate till cold.

Espresso Variation
Add 2 shots of espresso, or 1/2 cup of really strong instant coffee
1 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. gluten free flour
Make like normal!

Soufflé

6 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup cocoa pwd.
3/4 cup honey
2 tsp. vanilla
8 egg whites (room temperature)

Prepare 6 ramekins, butter them and coat in Truvia. Put in the freezer.
In a small pot, melt together butter, cocoa, and honey, set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 400. Take ramekins out of the freezer and put them on a pan. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks, not too stiff though, it shouldn't break apart, just hold a nice peak. Divide out 1/3 of egg whites into a bowl, gently but thoroughly fold the chocolate mixture into this, then fold the egg white/chocolate mixture into the rest of the whites. Fill ramekins a little over full, smooth off level with a knife, wipe the edges clean with a napkin, so the soufflé won't stick to the edges while it's rising during baking. Put in the oven and bake 15-20 minutes, they will be solid on the top and shouldn't be liquidy in the middle.
Mine fell as they cooled, but they still tasted amazing!! You will have a ton leftover batter, so use more ramekins, or since I didn't have any, I used a large Corning ware dish, buttered and sugared. It will take a tad longer to bake! As soon as they are done, hollow out the center, and fill it with the creme anglaise, serve them while they're still warm! I poked holes all over mine to make sure there was plenty of anglaise in them!! I didn't have any vanilla when I made this, so I added two shots of espresso to the creme anglaise...it was divine!!! I hope y'all enjoy these!
