Ingredients
- 200 grams Bittersweet chocolate
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 4 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
Prep the ramekins: Take 6 small ramekins (about 150 ml capacity each) and wrap a strip of parchment paper around the top of each one, extending about 3 cm above the rim. Secure the parchment with tape or rubber bands. This will help create a taller soufflé as it sets.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate and butter: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk egg yolks and sugar: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and half of the granulated sugar (50 grams) until the mixture is pale and thick. Stir this into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Step 4
Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two batches. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 5
Whisk the egg whites: Using a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar (50 grams) and continue whisking until stiff peaks form. This will act as the air-light structure of the soufflé.
Step 6
Combine everything: Fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being gentle to maintain the airy texture. Mix until no streaks remain, but do not overmix.
Step 7
Fill the ramekins: Spoon the soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them just past the rim of the ramekins (into the parchment-paper extension). Smooth the tops with a spatula for a neat presentation.
Step 8
Freeze: Place the ramekins on a tray and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until the soufflés are firm. They can be made up to 2 days in advance.
Step 9
Remove parchment and garnish: Carefully remove the parchment paper from the soufflés. Dust the tops with powdered sugar and a light sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.
Step 10
Serve: Serve the frozen chocolate soufflés immediately for a stunning and indulgent dessert.
