Chocolate Souffle Recipe
A dessert with a soft and delicate texture, very light, and with an unequaled flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 Yolks
- 4 Egg whites
- 100 Chocolate for melting
- 1 tsp Cocoa powder
- 40 g Butter
- Butter to grease the molds
- 20 g Sugar
Instructions
- Let's start by greasing the molds with butter. To do this, we will take it out of the fridge a few hours before, or we will put it in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to spread it in the mold.Once we have greased all the molds, we will distribute a little sugar in each one of them, so that it sticks to the butter on the bottom and walls of the mold. Then put them in the refrigerator until the Souffle dough is ready.
- Continue separating the egg whites from the yolks. Put the yolks in a bowl with the sugar and beat well until everything is completely integrated. Set aside.
- Now we are going to melt the chocolate and butter. We can do it in the microwave or in a bain-marie. If we opt for the microwave, it is better to put it several times but in very short periods of time. We stop and stir well and then continue with a few seconds more in the microwave. This will prevent the chocolate from burning.
- When the chocolate is completely melted and integrated with the butter, mix it with the egg yolks and sugar. Add the cocoa powder.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Beat well until the egg whites form peaks. You can add a pinch of sugar to make it easier.Check that the egg whites are well whipped if, when you turn the bowl, the cream does not move (do it carefully and little by little so as not to throw all the egg whites, if you see that they move, they are not whipped at all).
- Once the egg whites are whipped, we are going to integrate them into the chocolate with enveloping movements. We must mix them carefully, delicately, to prevent the whites from dropping. We will do it using a tongue or spatula, and with enveloping movements.
- Fill the molds that we had reserved in the refrigerator, flush, and continue baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 12 to 15 minutes.After this time, serve immediately, because as soon as it cools it will begin to cool.You can decorate with a little powdered sugar sprinkled on top.
