Belgian Chocolate Soufflé (Soufflé au Chocolat Belge)

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Belgian dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. In another saucepan, whisk together the flour, milk, and half of the granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter four ramekins and dust with granulated sugar, tapping out any excess.
  4. Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
  5. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites until no white streaks remain.
  7. Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins and smooth the tops with a spatula. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and set.
  8. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
