Chocolate Soufflé

Print Recipe

A rich, airy, and decadent dessert, chocolate soufflé is a classic French treat known for its delicate rise and deep chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz (115g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 2 tbsp (15g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease ramekins with butter and dust with sugar.
  2. Melt chocolate and 2 tbsp butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. In a saucepan, whisk flour and milk over medium heat until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir into melted chocolate along with salt and egg yolks.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold one-third of egg whites into chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining whites until no streaks remain.
  6. Spoon mixture into prepared ramekins and smooth the tops. Run a thumb around the edge to help them rise evenly.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until soufflés have risen and the tops are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Soufflés should be served immediately after baking as they will begin to deflate.
  • You can prepare the base in advance and fold in whipped egg whites just before baking.
  • Use room temperature eggs for best volume.
