Chocolate soufflé is a classic French dessert, baked in a small dish from a chocolate mixture enriched with eggs and usually butter and sugar. As it cooks, the mixture rises into a browned top while the centre stays tender and airy.
It is best served straight from the oven, before it sinks, and is enjoyed in France and in restaurants and homes around the world as a warm after-dinner treat. A scoop of ice cream or a little cream is a familiar accompaniment, though coffee works well too. Chocolate soufflé is an energy-dense dessert, with a richer balance of fat and carbohydrate than protein. For a lighter finish, serve a smaller portion with fresh fruit.

A chocolate soufflé is usually made with chocolate, eggs, sugar, butter, and a little flour or cocoa. Whipped egg whites help it rise in the oven, creating a light outer structure around a soft chocolate center.
To make a chocolate soufflé, combine melted chocolate and butter with a chocolate-and-egg-yolk mixture, then gently fold in whipped egg whites. Spoon it into prepared ramekins and bake in a preheated oven until risen and set around the edges.
A chocolate soufflé naturally sinks somewhat as it cools because the hot air inside contracts. A dramatic collapse can happen if it is underbaked, the oven door is opened too early, or the egg whites were not folded in carefully.
Take a chocolate soufflé out of the oven once its edges are set but its center still has a slight wobble. Baking it until the middle is completely firm will make it more cake-like, and it will continue cooking briefly in the ramekin.
A chocolate soufflé may fail to rise if the egg whites were not whipped enough, were deflated during mixing, or the oven was not fully preheated. Fold the whites in gently and avoid opening the oven while the soufflé is baking.
Yes, you can prepare chocolate soufflé batter, portion it into ramekins, and refrigerate it before baking. Bake it straight from the refrigerator, allowing extra time if needed, and expect the rise and texture to vary slightly from freshly prepared batter.
A chocolate soufflé rises with whipped eggs and has a light, airy structure. Molten chocolate cake is denser and is baked to keep a liquid chocolate center; the two desserts can look similar when cut but are made differently.
Yes, you can bake chocolate soufflé in another small, oven-safe dish with straight sides. Grease and coat the dish as the recipe directs, and avoid using a shallow or oversized dish, which can change how quickly the soufflé bakes.
Yes, you can gently reheat leftover chocolate soufflé, but it will not regain its original rise. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container; the texture becomes denser as it cools, so serving it warm is usually more enjoyable.
Chocolate soufflé is often served with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries. The cool, creamy or lightly tart accompaniment balances the rich chocolate, while a dusting of powdered sugar is a simple finishing touch.
