kcalIngredients
4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa) 🍫
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
1/4 cup sugar, plus extra for coating the ramekins
2 large egg yolks 🥚
3 large egg whites 🥚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder ☕️
Pinch of salt
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
- Prepare the Ramekins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust the insides with sugar to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a simmering pot of water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the espresso powder and vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
- Beat the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar until pale and thick. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the yolks, stirring to combine.
- Whip the Egg Whites: In another clean bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, one-third at a time, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Bake the Soufflés: Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and have a slightly jiggly center.
- Serve Immediately: Dust with powdered sugar and serve the soufflés hot, as they will start to deflate quickly after baking.
Notes
- For best results, serve the soufflé immediately out of the oven for maximum height and fluffiness.
- You can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge until ready to bake. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before baking.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
