Ingredients

for 2 servings

2 tablespoons
butter, melted
½ cup
chocolate, melted (80 g)
1 teaspoon
espresso powder
1 tablespoon
water
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon
icing sugar
1 egg white
2 tablespoons
caster sugar
butter, softened, for greasing
cocoa powder, for dusting

Preparation

Line 2 espresso cups or 2 small ramekins with softened butter followed by cocoa powder. Ensure all sides are coated with the cocoa as this will stabilise the sides of the soufflé when it rises.
In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and melted chocolate until fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the espresso powder, followed by the water. Stir in the egg yolk. Add in icing sugar. Stir until combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the caster sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form and they become glossy.
Fold 2 tablespoons of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture and fold until fully incorporated. Gradually fold in the remaining whipped egg whites. Be careful not to over stir, as this will knock the air out, which will stop the soufflé from rising to its full potential!
Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared espresso cups or ramekins.
Using a knife, carefully pull across the top of each soufflé so that the top is completely flat.
Neaten the edges of the cups by running your thumb around the rim of the cup. This will help the soufflé to rise straight.
Chill the soufflés in the fridge for 30 minutes (optional) and then preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Bake for 15 minutes.
Dust with a little cocoa powder and serve immediately.
Enjoy!

I made this soufflé over the weekend, and this tasted amazing! I forgot to take a picture, but it turned out almost exactly like the one in the video. I recommend to cook for a little less if you want to go have a gooey center.

They were amazing! Instead of espresso powder I used cocoa powder and it worked fine.

This was eh. It did rise but when I got them out of the oven, the top was super hard and the middle was empty?!?! It was super disappointing and I don’t think I would make it again. It tasted okay just a little gooey and raw for the amount of time I put it in for.
