Chocolate Soufflé with Raspberry Swirl
A rich and creamy chocolate soufflé filled with a sweet raspberry swirl, perfect for a romantic evening.
Ingredients
For the Soufflé:
- 2 ounces high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), broken into small pieces
- 1/2 cup (110g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk, at room temperature
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 large egg whites
For the Raspberry Swirl:
- 1 cup (200g) fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 1-quart soufflé dish and coat with granulated sugar.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolks.
- Temper the egg yolk mixture by gradually pouring it into the melted chocolate, whisking constantly.
- Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
- Fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared soufflé dish and smooth the top.
For the Raspberry Swirl:
- In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the berries have broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Stir in the cornstarch to prevent the mixture from becoming too runny.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
To Assemble:
- Remove the soufflé from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Using a spatula, gently loosen the edges of the soufflé.
- Spoon the raspberry swirl over the top of the soufflé.
- Return the soufflé to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the top is puffed and golden brown.
Tips
- To ensure the soufflé rises properly, do not open the oven door during baking.
- To serve, dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries.
