Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for ramekins
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for ramekins
1 1/2 teaspoons egg-white powder
4 large egg whites, room temperature
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70 percent cacao), melted
3/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 large egg yolks, room temperature
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons creme fraiche
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees on a convection oven and 400 degrees on a conventional oven. Brush six 7-ounce 3 3/4-by-1 3/4-inch ramekins generously with butter; coat with granulated sugar. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and egg-white powder; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk whites on low speed until frothy, about 2 minutes; whisk in sugar mixture. Increase speed to medium and beat until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set chocolate in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, whisk milk, cornstarch, and salt to combine. Bring to a simmer, whisking; remove from heat. Whisk into chocolate (mixture will separate). Vigorously whisk in yolks and 3 tablespoons creme fraiche until smooth. Gently whisk in one-third of the egg white mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold in remaining egg whites.
  • Fill ramekins evenly with batter, almost to the top. Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes for gooey souffles or 12 to 13 minutes for firmer souffles, rotating baking sheets halfway through baking.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup creme fraiche and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Make a hole in the center of each souffle; fill each with a tablespoon sweetened creme fraiche. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soufflés didn't turn out well at all.

The soufflés didn't rise as much as I expected, but they still tasted good.

Not bad, but not great. The soufflés were a bit too dense for my taste.
