Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 20 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 ml milk
- 10 grams cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- optional whipped cream or ice cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust them lightly with powdered sugar. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
In another saucepan, sift the all-purpose flour and gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Heat the milk and flour mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens into a smooth paste.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the thickened paste and stir thoroughly. Simmer for another minute until well combined, then remove from heat.
Whisk the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the paste, mixing until the texture is smooth and glossy.
Stir in the powdered sugar and baking powder, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and the tops are set.
Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
