Ingredients

• 150 grams dark chocolate
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 20 grams all-purpose flour
• 250 ml milk
• 10 grams cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 30 grams powdered sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 0 optional whipped cream or ice cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust them lightly with powdered sugar. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

In another saucepan, sift the all-purpose flour and gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Heat the milk and flour mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens into a smooth paste.

Step 6

Add the cornstarch slurry to the thickened paste and stir thoroughly. Simmer for another minute until well combined, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Whisk the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the paste, mixing until the texture is smooth and glossy.

Step 8

Stir in the powdered sugar and baking powder, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 9

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 10

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and the tops are set.

Step 11

Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
