Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz. (40 g) dark chocolate, (78% cacao), preferably Arriba Nacional Ecuadorian grand cru chocolate
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) lactose-free whole milk
  • 1/4 (scant) cup (2 oz. / 60 g) egg yolks (3 yolks)
  • 1/2 (scant) cup (3oz./80 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (2/3 oz. / 20 g) cornstarch
  • 1 (scant) cup (7 oz. / 200 g) egg whites (6 to 7 whites)
  • 3 tablespoons (2 oz. / 50 g) unsalted butter, for the ramekins

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F /190°C. Grease 8 ramekins with butter.
  2. Make a chocolate pastry cream: Chop the chocolate with a knife and place in a mixing bowl. Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan. While it is heating, beat the egg yolks with the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk until the mixture is pale. Incorporate the cornstarch. Pour one third of the boiling milk over the yolk-sugar mixture to heat it. Whisk well and pour in the remaining milk and whisk to combine. Return the liquid to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir in the chocolate until thoroughly combined. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  3. Whisk the egg whites. With a flexible spatula, carefully fold them into the pastry cream. Divide the soufflé batter among the prepared ramekins and bake for 16 minutes. Chef’s note: Serve the chocolate soufflés with a scoop of ice cream.
