Ingredients

  • For the Soufflés:

    • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 4 large eggs (separated)
    • 2 tablespoons chocolate liqueur (e.g., Godiva)
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup heavy cream
    • Pinch of salt

  • For Dusting:

    • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ramekins: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease four 6-ounce ramekins. Coat with sugar, tapping out excess.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and butter together over a double boiler, stirring occasionally.
  3. Make the Base: In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the flour, melted chocolate, and chocolate liqueur.
  4. Whip the Egg Whites: Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  5. Bake the Soufflés: Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared ramekins. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the soufflés are puffed and set but still slightly soft in the center.
  6. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Immediate Baking: Soufflés must be baked right after preparation for the best rise and texture.
  • Gentle Folding: Be sure to gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to avoid deflating the batter.
  • Customization: Experiment with different liqueurs such as coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa), orange liqueur, or even mint liqueur for unique flavors.
  • Serving Tip: Serve your soufflés with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance.
  • Storage: Soufflés deflate quickly, so they are best served immediately after baking. However, you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • Reheating: If reheating, place the soufflé in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes; it may not rise as high on reheating.
