Fluffy and Airy! Happy Chocolate Souffles
- 1 Egg yolk
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 8 grams Cake flour
- 4 grams Cocoa
- 80 grams Milk
- 20 grams Chocolate bar
- 7 grams? (as needed) Rum (to your liking)
- 1 Egg white
- 10 grams Granulated sugar
- Preliminaries: Spread butter on the ramekins and coat with granulated sugar.
- Prepare hot water to bake in a hot water bath.
- Make the chocolate custard.
- Put the egg yolk and granulated sugar in a heatproof bowl.
- Whisk with a whisk until it becomes white and thick.
- Sift in cake flour and cocoa in the egg yolk mixture and mix.
- Add milk little at a time at the beginning.
- After adding about half of the milk, then add all the remaining milk and mix.
- Heat in a 800W microwave for about 1.5 minutes.
- Take the mixture out a few times while heating and mix.
- Heat until it thickens.
- Add chocolate while the mixture is still hot and mix.
- Add rum at this point if you like.
- Then the chocolate custard is ready.
- Keep the custard over hot water and keep it warm.
- Preheat the oven to 180C!
- Make the meringue Add granulated sugar to the egg white in 2 portions and whip up until stiff peaks form using the high level on the hand mixer.
- When the meringue is whipped, whip the meringue on the lowest speed with a hand mixer for the last one minute to make the meringue foam smooth and fine.
- Then the meringue is ready.
- Stir the chocolate custard with a whisk and make it loose.
- Add 1/4 of the meringue and stir with the whisk to mix.
- Add the rest of the meringue and mix gently this time like cutting the mixture using a rubber spatula to maintain the meringue foam.
- When the mixture is mixed evenly, pour the batter into the ramekins to the brim.
- Even out the surface and wipe the edges with your fingernail to remove excess batter.
- Place a heatproof container on a baking sheet.
- Line the container with paper towel and place the ramekins.
- Pour the hot water for the water bath baking into the heatproof container until about half its height are covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven Bake at 180C oven for 18 minutes.
- (Do not open the oven door during the process, or the souffle will deflate.)
- Then the fizzy~fluffy chocolate souffle is ready You can also sprinkle powdered sugar to finish for a touch.
- Make sure to prepare things in advance because if you work slow, the meringue foam will burst and you'll have a deflated souffle.
- The preparation is very important and it is the most important point to make a fluffy souffle Lining the heatproof container with paper towel at Step 12 is to prevent the ramekins from slipping.
- You will be baking in a water bath, so please be careful not to burn yourself!
- The souffle will deflate in about one minute so enjoy it while hot.
- The ingredients are for two small ramekins.
- If the ramekins are about 8 cm, I think pouring the batter to 80% full and baking might be better!
