Bitter Chocolate Soufflé

Bitter Chocolate Soufflé


Bitter Chocolate Soufflé

This Bitter Chocolate Soufflé is a decadent dessert that showcases the bold, intense flavor of dark chocolate. Light, airy, and slightly bittersweet, it’s perfect for chocolate lovers seeking a sophisticated treat.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

For the soufflés:

  • 4 oz (115g) bittersweet chocolate (70-85% cocoa), finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For serving:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: whipped cream, fresh raspberries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ramekins:

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Grease 4 ramekins (6 oz each) with butter and dust with granulated sugar. Tap out excess sugar.

  2. Melt the Chocolate:

    • In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Melt over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Prepare the Egg Yolks:

    • Whisk the egg yolks into the melted chocolate, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. Whip the Egg Whites:

    • In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

  5. Combine the Mixtures:

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

  6. Fill the Ramekins:

    • Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins. Fill to the top, and run your thumb along the rim to create a clean edge for even rising.

  7. Bake:

    • Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and the tops are set but still jiggle slightly in the center.

  8. Serve Immediately:

    • Dust with powdered sugar and serve right away. Optional toppings like whipped cream or fresh raspberries complement the bitterness beautifully.

Tips and Variations:

  • Extra Bitterness: Add a teaspoon of espresso powder or a pinch of cayenne for enhanced depth.
  • Creamy Center: Place a square of chocolate in the center of each ramekin before baking for a molten surprise.
  • Liqueur Addition: Incorporate 1 tablespoon of liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Amaretto) for a sophisticated flavor twist.
