Chocolate Soufflé
Delicious Desserts And Drinks
Prep time:
20 mins.Bake Time:
30 minutesIngredients
Serves 4
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. granulated sugar, divided
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate, melted
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. confectioners’ sugar
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 1-quart round soufflé dish or deep baking dish with a straight side. Dust with 1 tbsp. granulated sugar.
2
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour. Cook for about 1 minute. Add the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining granulated sugar, the chocolate and vanilla. Cool slightly. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl. Stir into the chocolate mixture.
3
Place the egg whites and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set on high speed until stiff peaks form but the mixture is still glossy. Transfer about 1 cup egg whites to the chocolate mixture. Stir well.
4
Fold the remaining whites into the batter. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the center is set, 30–35 minutes. Sprinkle with the confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately.
