Description
The Chocolate Soufflé is a classic dessert that offers a spectacular presentation and a deeply satisfying chocolate flavor. Each bite melts in your mouth, combining the rich smoothness of chocolate with a light, airy texture that seems to dissolve on the tongue.
Ingredients
Soufflé Batter:
4 Tablespoons (1/4 cup; 56g) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
4 ounces (113g) semi-sweet chocolate bar, coarsely chopped
3 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 Tablespoons (38g) granulated sugar
Prepping The Ramekins:
1 Tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, extra soft
4 teaspoons (16g) granulated sugar
Instructions
For the batter: Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second increments, stirring until melted. Cool slightly.
Whisk egg yolks, vanilla, and salt into the chocolate. Set aside.
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating to stiff peaks.
Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture in three additions.
Chill batter 5-10 minutes while preheating the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Prepare the ramekins: Coat with butter, sugar, and remove excess.
Fill ramekins with batter, smooth tops, and create a channel at the rim.
Bake at 375°F (191°C) for 13-14 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
