1
Melt Chocolate
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Prepare Egg Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until pale and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and the cooled chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined.
3
Fold in Egg Whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain.
4
Prepare Baking Dish
Lightly grease individual ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking. Pour the soufflé mixture into each ramekin, filling them about three-quarters full.
5
Bake
Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and have a soft, slightly wobbly center.
6
Serve
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by whipped cream.
