The title of the recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200g) dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk, at room temperature
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter six 1-cup ramekins and dust them with sugar.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Chocolate Soufflé:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is pale yellow and thick.
- Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the melted chocolate.
Egg Whites:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Assembly:
- Gently fold one-quarter of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
- Add the remaining egg whites and gently fold until no white streaks remain.
- Pour the soufflé batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Baking:
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until puffed and set.
- Remove from the oven and dust with powdered sugar.
Serving:
- Serve immediately, as soufflés are best enjoyed straight from the oven.
