Description
This rich, airy chocolate soufflé is the ultimate elegant dessert. Perfectly puffed and full of decadent flavor, it’s a classic treat that will impress every time.
Ingredients
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter your ramekins.
Melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth.
Whisk in the sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture, taking care not to deflate them.
Divide the mixture among the ramekins.
Bake for 15–18 minutes—do not open the oven door while baking.
Serve immediately for the best rise and texture.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better volume.
Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
You can prepare the batter ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Make sure your ramekins are well-buttered to help the soufflé rise evenly.
