Chocolate Soufflé

So glad I was finally able to make this recipe for Chocolate SoufflĂ© . It is on my list since last year but somehow other recipes went first. Probably was a little scared of the photo session, which in soufflĂ©’s case it takes from 2 minutes to 5 minutes 🙂 as it deflates soo fast. From the moment I took them out of the oven (forgot the molds were hot which delayed this transfer) and till the moment I put them on the photo table they already deflate a little. But I finally was pretty pleased with the photos and was pleased of the taste of this souffle.

I’ve seen a lot of souffle recipe, some using the basic recipe which uses flour, some without, some with egg yolks, some without, so was pretty hard to decide which recipe to follow. I followed my instinct, and my goal was to have a chocolate soufflĂ© that rise well and have an amazing taste. Every time I combine cocoa powder with chocolate the enhanced taste of chocolate is unbelievably good. So I didn’t use flour but used cocoa powder instead.

The words are simply not enough to describe what a chocolate soufflé tastes like. Incredible light, chocolatey and simply divine.  If you are a chocolate lover you really must give this recipe a try as I m sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
  • 1 tbsp (15g) cream
  • 5 tbsp (75g) sugar
  • 2 oz (60g) 55-70% dark chocolate
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp (2g) salt
  • 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder , good quality
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) water
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Butter and granulated sugar for coating the ramekins

Topping (optional)

  • 7 oz (200ml) whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp (7g) powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375° (190C). Butter the inside of your soufflé molds ( I used 31/2 Inch- 9 cm Ramekins). Dust the molds with granulated sugar, then pour out the excess.
    Chocolate Souffle step1
  • Place milk and cream in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until it boils. Remove from heat, add chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute then stir until well combined and all of the chocolate has melted.
  • Add the cocoa powder and water, and whisk until very hot over bain marie (double boiler).
    Chocolate Souffle step3
  • Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for few minutes.
  • Meanwhile whip the egg whites with salt until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Add egg yolks to chocolate mixture and whisk in to combine.
  • Using a rubber spatula gently mix one-third of the egg whites into chocolate mixture. Then fold the chocolate mixture into the remaining whites. Spoon batter into prepared molds.
  • Bake until the soufflĂ© has risen to about 1 1/2 inch above the dish,  for about 13-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile whip the cream with powdered sugar if used for serving.
  • Remove from the oven and dust the top with powdered sugar and add a spoon of whipped cream. Serve immediately as the soufflĂ© will begin to deflate after about 2 minutes.

  9. Hello! They look so so tasty. 🙂 I wanted to ask, if I could prepare everything for the soufflé and put them later on into the over. Would that be okay?

    Thank you for your answer!

  10. Can steps 1-7 be done ahead of time and have it already to bake…and only bake it just before serving. If yes, should I refrigerate the ramekins and take out just before baking?

  11. Cynthia Author says:
