Chocolate Coulant
This dessert comes from France and its creator is Michel Bras, who came to patent the name of the dessert, why many chefs or bakers Coulant referred to by other names like chocolate lava cake or chocolate soufflé …..
The chocolate Coulant finish is great for any lunch or dinner and although it may seem complicated is one of the simplest desserts I know, and also has the advantage that you can do it in advance and keep for months in the freezer unbaked, this is great for the days that come from parties and I tell you to stay as a queen or king
