Chocolate Pistachio Souffle

This Chocolate Pistachio Souffle only takes 30 minutes to make and is gluten free and dairy free.  The perfect dessert for your next dinner party!After making the Mango Passion Fruit Souffle last week I couldn’t wait to make this Chocolate Pistachio Souffle!  Sometimes that chocolate craving just kicks in and nothing else can satisfy it.  In just 30 minutes you can satisfy your chocolate craving with this delectable dessert!

I absolutey loved the velvety consistency of this chocolate souffle.  It reminded me of my favorite Flourless Chocolate Cake. Anytime I can find a dessert as delicious as this that’s gluten free and dairy free makes me happy since we have some intolerances in our house.  I like to be able to make yummy treats that everyone can enjoy without suffering any after effects.

Even if  you don’t need to eat a dairy free or gluten free diet you’re in for a real treat when you take a bite out of these!  It’s like biting into a little chocolate cloud!
