A light and airy chocolate soufflé, perfect for a decadent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 6 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter and sugar six 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup of the sugar and chopped chocolate until melted and smooth.
  5. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
  6. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
  8. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no streaks remain.
  9. Divide the soufflé mixture among the prepared ramekins.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until puffed and set. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the soufflé from deflating.
  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of alcohol-free vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture.
  • Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
