Method

For the Soufflé

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate Mixture

    Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth.

  2. 2

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and half of the granulated sugar until pale and thick. Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract, mixing well.

  3. 3

    Beat the Egg Whites

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Sift the flour over the mixture and fold in gently until just combined.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the soufflé mixture into greased ramekins and bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and set but still soft in the center.

For the Raspberry Coulis

  1. 6

    Prepare the Coulis

    In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Strain through a sieve to remove the seeds.

For the Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

  1. 7

    Make the Ice Cream Base

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and the scraped vanilla bean. Heat until the sugar dissolves. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly.

  2. 8

    Cook the Mixture

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  3. 9

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.
