A Sweet Start to a New Year: Chocolate Soufflé with Pistachio Ice Cream

Tom and I decided to invite a few friends over for a New Year's Day dinner. As usual, Tom handled all of the cooking (to start, a salad with green apples and pomegranates, followed by a main course of ham accompanied by collard greens, Brussels sprouts, carrots and scalloped potatoes), and I handled dessert. For a small number of people being served in my own home, I thought it was a good opportunity to make Warm Chocolate Soufflés with Pistachio Ice Cream.

This is a great recipe; the ice cream is absolutely delicious and the soufflés are not difficult to make. The particular beauty of this version is that the soufflés can be made ahead and held in the refrigerator. Then when it's time for dessert, just pop the soufflés in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, and voilà! Yummy, warm, and beautiful dessert!
