Roy's Hot Chocolate Soufflé
Description
This soufflé mixes melted unsalted butter and dark chocolate with eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. After whisking ingredients together, the batter is refrigerated overnight to set the mixture. Baking in greased ramekins lined with parchment paper at 375°F for 28 to 30 minutes develops a tender rise with a slightly firm exterior.
The finished dessert is inverted onto plates and served warm with vanilla ice cream, adding creaminess that pairs well with the bittersweet chocolate notes. The soufflé texture is light yet rich, owing to the careful incorporation of eggs and chocolate.
The preparation requires some advance chilling but produces an elegant dessert with a smooth, chocolatey center and a slight crust. The use of parchment helps in easy removal without damaging the delicate structure.
