In an interview with AB, he once mentioned he made a souffle out of brownie mix. I wish he would have mentioned that as well. Does anyone here have any clues about how to turn brownie mix into a chocolate souffle?

[grahambcp]

Probably just make up the brownie batter as normal and fold it in to the beaten egg whtes and put it in a souflet dish dusted on the inside with dutch cocoa powder/butter and bake the same way that this soulfet is...... though let it be known I have NO IDEA how this would turn out..... but it "could" work.

@grahambcp Worst case scenario, you get brownies that are just a fair bit lighter than normal brownies. Might not be a chocolate souffle per se, but probably still good eats.

@hurricanejbb combine it with egg whites?

[jolenealaska]

I love Alton Brown. I mean really...I do...

@hurricanejbb check out ABs recipes @ food network.com. It's probably there. :D

@hurricanejbb foam the whites as he does in this video, simulatiniously heat the mix, yolks, and an amount of clarified butter equal to the amount of fat required on the package on a double boiler. Whisk the batter in the boiler heavily to ensure that all the powder is dissolved and the yolk is equally mixed. Fold in the whites gently as AB does in the vid, put carefully into a brownie pan, or a couple pans (don't fill more than halfway) and hit the oven @ 375. Watch, wait, test with a toothpick

Someone got a Hammichler Schlemmer gift card for Christmas. Love the hover bubble.

perhaps you could trade the different savory for sweet?

I think the actual methods are what counts,and you can change the flavor accordingly.
