Soufflé Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Melt Chocolate and Butter

In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave until smooth. Stir to combine and let it cool slightly.

3

Prepare Egg Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until pale and creamy.

4

Combine Mixtures

Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg yolk mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.

5

Beat Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

6

Fold in Egg Whites

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

7

Prepare Ramekins

Grease individual ramekins with butter and dust with flour, shaking out the excess.

8

Fill Ramekins and Bake

Pour the soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed and set on the edges.

9

Serve

Remove from the oven and serve immediately, as the soufflés will deflate quickly!
