Ingredients:
4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
3 large eggs, separated
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Whipped cream or ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with sugar, ensuring an even coating on the sides and bottom.
Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and 2 tablespoons of butter over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Prepare the egg yolks: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and pale. Stir in the melted chocolate and flour until fully combined.
Beat the egg whites: In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the egg whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Fill the ramekins: Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
Bake: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and are set on the outside but still slightly gooey in the center.
Serve immediately: Dust the hot soufflés with powdered sugar and serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream on the side, if desired.
This hot chocolate soufflé is light, airy, and irresistibly rich—an indulgent treat that’s sure to impress!
