Author: Carina
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 6oz | 170g Dark Chocolate
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 2 Tbsp Cream
- 3 Egg Yolks
- 5 Egg Whites
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ Cup | 100g Sugar
Instructions
- Cut the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat proof bowl with the butter and cream. Melt over a water bath until smooth. Leave to cool for a few minutes.
- Place the 3 egg yolks in the bowl with the melted chocolate, butter and cream. Use a rubber spatula to mix the egg yolks into the chocolate until you have a smooth glossy mixture, set to the side.
- Place the 5 egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl if you are using a hand mixer. Mix on medium speed until the eggs become frothy and add the salt. Continue to mix on a higher speed until the egg whites are at the soft peak stage.
- Gradually add the half cup of sugar to the egg whites while mixing on high. Continue to mix for 3-5 minutes until they are at the hard peak stage.
- Add a third of the whipped egg whites to the chocolate mixture and use the rubber spatula to mix until combined. Add the remaining two thirds and fold together gently until combined.
- Spoon the chocolate soufflé mixture into greased and sugared ramekins. Flatten the tops and run your thumb around the rim. Place in a 200C | 400F oven for 12 minutes for a molten centre or closer to 15 for a completely set centre.
- Serve the soufflés immediately out of the oven with whipped cream and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
