The usual prep work at Andolini's on Cherry Street was even more frantic today. Not only were they getting ready for their Friday lunch crowds, but they were also getting ready to feed the homeless.We do a lot of donations, but today is National Pizza Day.

A delightfully delicious dessert is observed each year on February 28th as it is National Chocolate Souffle Day.

The word souffle is the past participle of the French verb souffler, which means “to blow up” or more loosely “puff up” which describes a souffle perfectly. A souffle is a lightly baked cake made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites that are combined with other ingredients to make the dish either a savory main dish or a sweet dessert.

Two essential components make up every souffle:
1. A French creme patisserie base/flavored cream sauce or puree.
2. Egg whites beaten to a soft peak meringue.

A souffle gets its flavor from the base, and the egg whites provide the lift to puff it up. A variety of cheeses, jams, fruits or chocolates can be baked into the base of the souffle. Many souffle bakers like to puncture the top of the souffle after removing it from the oven. Then they pour mouth watering sauces onto it, such as chocolate, vanilla or for a savory flavor cheese and herbs.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Take the challenge of a souffle and try one of these recipes:

Heavenly Chocolate Souffle Cake

PARTY DAY SWEETS! ~ SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE!

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Ingredients~

• 1 cup peanut butter (I like chunky)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
• 1/4 tsp baking powder (optional)
• 24 mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups
• Oil spray

Preparation~

Mix peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and baking powder on medium with blender to really incorporate. Fold over with spatula a few times scraping sides of bowl to create a ball.

Very liberally coat mini muffin tins with oil spray of choice. (If you don't put enough they will stick.) Pinch off some batter and roll into small ball about 3/4" across and place in tin. Adjust ball size if needed to get exactly 24 even sized balls.

Take the end of any kitchen utensil you have (I use a pizza cutter) and press down the middle of each ball to spread out and make a depression in the center. (This will cradle your cups after it's baked.)

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown but still soft. While outer shells are cooking, remove paper from 24 mini peanut butter cups and set aside.

Immediately when shells come out of oven, press down peanut butter cups in the center of each shell quickly. Don't press too hard touching bottom of pan or it will leak when removed. Let cool 10 minutes. Spin each cookie within the tin until lose and remove onto cooling rack. Place in fridge or freezer till chocolate is hard again. Enjoy!
