100 g of Chocolate Soufflé has 320 calories. It contains 38 g of carbs, 6 g of protein, 16 g of fat and 2.5 g of fiber. Its 0.2 mg of Copper covers 24% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 50 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Chocolate Soufflé is a French baked dessert made with chocolate, eggs and usually a little flour. It rises in the oven, forming a delicate, lightly cracked top while the centre stays soft and airy; it is best served straight from its ramekin before it sinks. In France it is a familiar restaurant dessert, and it is also made at home for a special meal.
For English-speaking diners, it is often served warm after dinner, sometimes with cream, ice cream or fresh berries. Its chocolate and sugar make it an energy-dense treat, with comparatively modest protein. A smaller portion alongside berries gives you the contrast of fresh, tart fruit without making the dessert feel quite so rich.

A chocolate soufflé is made by folding beaten egg whites into a mixture of melted chocolate, butter, egg yolks and other ingredients. Pour it into prepared ramekins and bake until risen and set on top, then serve straight away while it is still airy.
A chocolate soufflé naturally sinks as it cools because the air that lifted it contracts. A dramatic collapse can also happen if the center is underbaked or the oven door is opened too early; serve it immediately for the tallest rise.
Yes, you can prepare chocolate soufflé batter in its ramekins ahead and refrigerate it until baking. Bake it just before serving, allowing for the chilled batter to take longer; soufflé is best eaten fresh rather than reheated.
Chocolate soufflé rises from whipped egg whites and has a light, airy structure, while chocolate lava cake is a small cake baked to leave a molten center. Both can be soft inside, but their textures and methods are different.
Dark chocolate is a reliable choice for chocolate soufflé because it gives a deep cocoa flavor and balances the sweetness. If you use milk chocolate, the result will be sweeter, so reduce the added sugar to keep the flavor from becoming cloying.
To keep a chocolate soufflé center gooey, avoid baking it until the middle is completely firm. Remove it when the top is set but the center still looks soft, and serve immediately because residual heat continues cooking it.
Yes, chocolate soufflé can be baked in another small, oven-safe straight-sided dish if you do not have ramekins. Grease and prepare the dish well, and watch the bake closely because a different shape or size changes how quickly the center cooks.
For chocolate soufflé, brush the inside of each ramekin with softened butter, then coat it with sugar or cocoa powder. Apply the coating in upward strokes to help the batter climb the sides as it rises.
Chocolate soufflé is best served immediately, either plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Fresh berries or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream pair well with its rich chocolate flavor without needing a heavy sauce.
Store leftover chocolate soufflé covered in the refrigerator once it has cooled. It will lose its rise and airy texture as it sits; warm it briefly in the oven if you like, but expect a denser dessert rather than a freshly baked soufflé.
