Mini Chocolate Souffle Recipe

Souffle Directions

1. 1

   Prepare Ramekins

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease four small ramekins with butter and place them in a baking dish.

2. 2

   Melt Chocolate

   In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and remove from heat.

3. 3

   Mix Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and creamy. Gradually incorporate the melted chocolate mixture.

4. 4

   Whip Egg Whites

   In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.

5. 5

   Fill Ramekins

   Spoon the soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and are set on the edges but still slightly soft in the center.

7. 7

   Serve

   Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your mini chocolate soufflés warm!
