The Magical Hot Chocolate Souffle

The word "Soufflé " is a French word which means "to blow up" or "puff up." Many restaurants choose to serve soufflé as their dessert. This is one of my favorite dessert as it seems magical, airy and complex. Eating it fresh from the oven can totally completes my meal. 

And who does not love chocolate? The hot chocolate soufflé is a perfect combination for dessert that I could never get enough.So this will be the first easy-to-make dessert recipe that I wanted to put in my diary. You will find that you can make your own soufflé with in 30 minute or less. How fun is that? Having your friends over for dinner and finish up with the home-made chocolate soufflé!

First, these are ingredients that you would need. They are very easy to find. And you may already have it in your home.

1. 200 ml milk
2. 4 eggs
3. 300 g dark chocolate
4. 50 g butter
5. 20 g corn flour
6. 50 g sugar
7. pinch of salt

Okay, so once you have prepared the ingredients, let's move on to the easy steps:

Always Always, Preheat your oven.
For this recipes, it will be 200 degree C.

1. First, mix your milk with the corn flour. Then put it on low heat. whisk till it becomes thick. When it's done, it will be a sticky paste just like mashed potatoes!

2. Meanwhile, break the chocolate into small pieces. Put them on a double boiler. (For those of you who do not know what a "double boiler" is... It's just placing a bowl on top of a pan of simmering water to melt the chocolate without burning it) Then add your butter.

3. When the chocolate melts, take off the double boiler and add four egg yolks.(Careful! don't throw your egg white away!) Put them in the fridge. 

4. Whisk the egg white with the sugar until the mixture is Fluffy! and stick to the whisk. You will find it look like a hair mousse. (HEY! but don't over work them cus' it can collapse!)

5. Take the chocolate and mix it with the egg whites.

6. Get your mold.Butter it and dust it with grated chocolate. Fill the mixture in three-quarter. Clean the rim (otherwise it won't rise!!!) 7. Put in the oven for around7 minutes. (depends on the size of the mold.)

See how easy this is? And the good thing about your home-made dessert is that you can "make it as you like it." If you don't like a lot of sugar, you can take some out, if you like it sweet, Then you can add some more.
As easy as that.


Quick and easy to do. Perfect choice to round up your meals!


Serve it right out of your oven.
