Chef's Tips
You can prepare the soufflés in advance and bake them just before serving.
Only chocolate soufflés can be made ahead due to their thicker consistency.
Flavour the sugar used for dusting the moulds with cinnamon, dried orange zest, or vanilla sugar.

These were heavenly! The chocolate flavour was intense and the crispy caramel rice was genius. Served them for a dinner party and they stole the show.

They puffed up beautifully but collapsed a bit after serving. Still delicious though. Maybe I need to fill the moulds a bit more next time?
