Prep: 20 minutes | Bake: 12-15 minutes | Yield: 4 individual soufflés

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing ramekins)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for ramekins)
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 egg whites
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease four ramekins with butter and coat with sugar.
  2. Melt chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter together until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, whisk flour and milk over medium heat until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in melted chocolate, egg yolks, and vanilla.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, then slowly add sugar and beat to soft peaks.
  6. Gently fold egg whites into the chocolate mixture using a spatula.
  7. Spoon batter into prepared ramekins and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and set around the edges.
  9. Serve immediately while the soufflés are risen.

Kid-Friendly Tips

  • Kids can help grease ramekins and sprinkle sugar
  • Teach gentle folding to keep air in the batter
  • Watch the soufflés rise for a fun science moment

Learning Notes

Soufflés rise because air is trapped inside beaten egg whites. Heat causes the air to expand, making the dessert puff up in the oven.

Serving Ideas

  • Dust with powdered sugar
  • Serve with berries or whipped cream
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side

Notes

Do not open the oven door while baking. Soufflés should be served immediately for the best height and texture.
