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

We can present you with a little powdered sugar, cocoa powder above or if you want to take it in summer with a scoop of ice cream (in my case would be vanilla), uhmmm contrasting flavors and temperature.
