  • The secret to any good souffle is the base. It has to be smooth enough for beaten egg whites to be folded into it, and sturdy enough to let those whites do their expanding magic in a hot oven. For chocolate souffles, the traditional base is melted chocolate mixed with heavy cream or butter, while savory souffles get their structure from a white sauce made with butter, flour, and milk. We've found a base replacement for both in pureed butternut squash. The results are just as fluffy and fabulous as the traditional recipes, but lighter and entirely gluten-free.
