Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 15 minutesServes: 4
Ingredients
4 oz bittersweet chocolate
2 tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
3 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter four 8-ounce ramekins and dust with granulated sugar, tapping out any excess.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with half of the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until pale and thick. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
4. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
5. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg whites carefully until no streaks remain.
6. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each nearly to the top. Run your thumb around the edge of each ramekin to create a small indentation.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and the tops appear set. Remove from the oven and dust with confectioners' sugar before serving immediately.
