Notes
1. This recipe is just enough to fill 2 standard 8 inches ramekins. If you are using bigger ramekins, you might want to consider multiplying the recipe or just make 1 souffle. You need enough souffle mixture to fill to the brim of the ramekins for a nice rised souffle
2.Souffle can be made ahead. If the dessert is going to make at a later stage, transfer the pastry cream into a bowl and cling wrap it. With the film directly touching the pastry cream. Chill the pastry cream and unbeaten egg white (cling wrapped) in the fridge.Then bring to room temperature when ready to make the dessert. An hour before making the dessert, bring it out from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature.
