Homemade chocolate souffle-pxhere

Prep: 20 minutes | Bake: 12-15 minutes | Yield: 4 individual souffl�s

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing ramekins)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for ramekins)
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • � cup milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 egg whites
  • � cup sugar
  • � 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 souffl�s are risen.

Kid-Friendly Tips

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

Learning Notes

Souffl�s 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. Souffl�s should be served immediately for the best height and texture.
