Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 large eggs, separated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the ramekins with butter and dust with sugar.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously for 2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 3/4 cup sugar, cocoa powder, bittersweet chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Beat in the egg yolks one at a time until smooth.
- In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until glossy stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling each to the top.
- Run your thumb around the inside edge of each ramekin to create a shallow trench.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the soufflés are puffed and set on top.
- Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar or topped with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Ensure that the egg whites are beaten until stiff peaks form for a light and airy soufflé. Serve immediately, as soufflés tend to deflate quickly. Adjust sugar quantity based on personal preference for sweetness.
