Indulge in a rich and airy Chocolate Soufflé, a classic French dessert that's both elegant and decadent. Perfect for a special occasion or whenever you crave a chocolate treat.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter plus more for greasing
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar plus more for coating
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs separated
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter the inside of a soufflé dish and coat with granulated sugar, tapping out the excess.
- In a saucepan, melt the chocolate and 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, whisk the flour into the milk over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and combine with the chocolate mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract, egg yolks, and salt into the chocolate mixture, stirring until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of sugar, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Run a thumb along the edge of the dish to create a ‘top hat’ effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the soufflé has risen and the top is set. Serve immediately.
