Chocolate Souffle

This airy yet intensely chocolatey dessert rises like a cloud from a rich, velvety base, its delicate exterior giving way to a molten center that floods the palate with deep cocoa warmth. The contrast between the crisp, golden top and the tender, almost custard-like interior makes each bite a study in texture, while the bittersweet depth of the chocolate lingers long after the last crumb is gone. Worth the careful attention to technique, this soufflé transforms simple ingredients into a showstopping finale that feels as luxurious as it tastes.

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and place a baking tray on the top shelf. For the sauce, heat the cream and sugar until boiling. Remove from the heat, stir in the chocolate and butter until melted, then keep warm.

  2. 2

    Brush 6 x 150ml ramekins with melted butter, sprinkle with the 2 tbsp caster sugar, then tip out any excess. Melt the chocolate and cream in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, cool, then mix in the egg yolks. Whisk the egg whites until they hold their shape, then add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, whisking back to the same consistency. Mix a spoonful into the chocolate, then gently fold in the rest.

  3. 3

    Working quickly, fill the ramekins, wipe the rims clean and run your thumb around the edges. Turn oven down to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6, place the ramekins onto the baking tray, then bake for 8-10 mins until risen with a slight wobble. Don’t open the oven door too early as this may make them collapse.

  4. 4

    Once the soufflés are ready, dust with icing sugar, scoop a small hole from their tops, then pour in some of the hot chocolate sauce. Replace the lids and serve straight away.
