Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease six 6-ounce (180ml) ramekins with butter, making sure to coat them evenly. Sprinkle sugar inside the ramekins, then tilt and rotate each ramekin to spread the sugar evenly and dump out any excess.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once melted, add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks lightly. Gradually pour in the chocolate mixture while continuously whisking to combine. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
- Gradually add the 1/3 cup of sugar, beating continuously, until you achieve stiff, glossy peaks.
- Gently fold about one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
- Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.
- Divide the soufflé batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them to just below the rim.
- Place the ramekins on a baking tray and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and have a slight wobble in the center.
- Once done, remove the soufflés from the oven and serve immediately. Soufflés are best enjoyed while still puffed and warm.
Tips:
- Make sure the mixing bowls and utensils are spotless before beating the egg whites; any grease or residue can prevent them from whipping properly.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites gently to retain as much air as possible for a perfect rise.
- Serve the souffles immediately after baking for the best texture and presentation.
With their impressive rise and rich chocolate flavor, these chocolate souffles are a dessert that will undoubtedly steal the show. The combination of velvety chocolate and a light, airy texture makes them a delight to eat. Follow these steps carefully, and you'll be able to create a dessert that's both elegant and delicious.
