Ingredients

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for ramekins)
• 120 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup whole milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 pcs large egg yolks
• 3 pcs large egg whites
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for egg whites)
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two 8-ounce ramekins with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, ensuring even coverage up to the rims.

Step 2

Sprinkle the greased ramekins with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, coating them evenly. Tap out any excess sugar and place the ramekins on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Melt 120 grams of dark chocolate with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, whisk 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour with 1/3 cup of whole milk over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

Add the milk mixture to the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined. Then, whisk in 2 large egg yolks until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat 3 large egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling them nearly to the rim. Smooth the tops with a spatula and run your thumb along the inner edge of each ramekin to create a clean rim (this helps the soufflés rise evenly).

Step 9

Bake the soufflés on the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until they have risen dramatically and have a slight wobble in the center.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
