Gordon Ramsay’s Chocolate Soufflé is a light yet indulgent baked dessert made by folding whipped egg whites into a rich chocolate custard, creating a beautifully risen and fluffy texture. The key to a perfect soufflé is a well-prepared batter and precise baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing ramekins)

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Ramekins:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter the ramekins thoroughly, then dust them with cocoa powder and sugar, ensuring an even coating to help the soufflé rise.

Make the Chocolate Base:

  1. Melt chocolate and butter – In a heatproof bowl over a simmering pot of water (double boiler method), melt chocolate and butter until smooth. Remove from heat.
  2. Stir in heavy cream, vanilla, and salt – Mix until fully combined.
  3. Whisk in egg yolks – One at a time, ensuring a smooth consistency.

Whip the Egg Whites:

  1. Beat egg whites – Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form.
  2. Gradually add sugar – Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Fold and Bake:

  1. Gently fold egg whites into the chocolate mixture – Use a spatula to fold gently to maintain the airy texture.
  2. Fill the ramekins – Spoon the batter into prepared ramekins, leveling the tops.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes – Until the soufflés are risen with a slightly wobbly center.

Serve Immediately:

 

  1. Dust with powdered sugar – Serve immediately with fresh berries or ice cream.
