How Xanthan Gum and an Upside-Down Trick Let You Make Robuchon's Chocolate Soufflé Days Ahead
Chris Young deconstructs the science of bubbles to solve two classic kitchen frustrations: soufflés that must be served immediately and latte foam that dies within minutes. Using xanthan gum, cream of tartar, and a gravity-defying baking trick, he makes Robuchon's 3-ingredient chocolate soufflé prep-ahead friendly — and applies the same logic to make milk foam last dramatically longer. Bonus: a dairy-free chocolate Chantilly and a surprisingly incredible mocha hot chocolate.
