A Valentine’s Day Raspberry Souffle

 

Valentine’s Day is an extra special day to honor the people that we love. I think it’s important to honor them everyday and to tell them that you love them, but this is the perfect occasion to do something extra special. I love baking fun desserts on Valentine’s Day and surrounding myself with flowers. I owned two flower shops many years ago, and I still love flowers. I believe that no gesture (or bouquet of flowers) is too big or too small because it’s truly the thought that counts.

This recipe is a favorite of mine because I love raspberries, rosewater, and the color pink! This recipe is designed for cocottes or ramekins for individual servings. You can decorate it with raspberries, or anything else you like.
