Growing up, my dad would serve homemade peach crumble almost every Sunday. The flavours are very nostalgic for me, so I wanted to take inspiration from that for this soufflé.
Every baker needs a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. For me, I like them slightly crispy on the outside, with a soft and chewy centre. By using muscovado sugar, we get more of that molasses flavour and the cookie retains more moisture, resulting in the perfect texture. I always use the best chocolate I can get my hands on for cookies, as it makes a huge difference in the flavour.
These Viennese whirls are delicious on their own, but dipping in chocolate and coating in pistachio adds an elegant finish.
