A quick and easy fluffy chocolate soufflé recipe that delivers an elegant, airy texture and intense chocolate flavor. Perfect for beginners and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz (115g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 3 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Butter four 6-ounce (180ml) ramekins generously and sprinkle granulated sugar inside each, coating all sides evenly. Set aside.
  2. Melt 4 oz (115g) dark chocolate and 2 tablespoons (30g) softened unsalted butter together using a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Stir frequently and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  3. Whisk 3 large egg yolks with 1/8 cup (25g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until pale and slightly thickened. Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the yolks carefully.
  4. In a clean, dry large bowl, add a pinch of salt and the remaining 1/8 cup (25g) sugar to 3 large egg whites. Whisk with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, then increase speed to stiff, glossy peaks.
  5. Fold a third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate base gently with a rubber spatula. Then fold in the remaining whites in two batches, mixing just until combined without overmixing.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling about three-quarters full. Run your thumb or the back of a spoon around the inside edge to create a small gap.
  7. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until puffed with a slight jiggle in the center.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately for maximum fluffiness.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better volume. Butter and sugar coating on ramekins helps soufflé rise evenly. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent collapse. If browning too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Serve immediately as soufflés deflate quickly.
