Substitute for coating ramekin in a chocolate soufflé.
I know that when it comes to chocolate soufflés, the substance to coat a ramekin to help the soufflé climb is sugar.
Here's my question: can I use something else, like salt? Or cocoa powder?
I only ask because sugar can be a little too sweet for me, and I know that salt and chocolate can sometimes work together like in chocolate coated pretzels.
Any thoughts?
