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

Directions

For the Batter:

1. Melt the Butter and Chocolate: In a double boiler or microwave, melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring every 20 seconds until completely melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
2. Whisk Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, vanilla, and salt into the melted chocolate mixture. Set this aside.
3. Beat Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. Fold Egg Whites: Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, ensuring the batter remains light and airy.
5. Chill the Batter: Chill the batter for 5-10 minutes while you preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Prepare the Ramekins:

1. Coat with Butter and Sugar: Generously coat the inside of each ramekin with extra soft butter. Add the granulated sugar, rotating the ramekin to cover all sides and tapping out any excess.

Baking:

1. Fill the Ramekins: Fill each prepared ramekin with the batter, smoothing the tops. Create a slight channel around the rim with your thumb, which helps the soufflés rise evenly.
2. Bake: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (191°C) for 13-14 minutes, until the soufflés are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
