If you're looking to impress dinner guests with a fancy-looking dessert that is surprisingly easy to make, this Chocolate Hazelnut Souffle is the recipe for you. Souffles have a reputation for being difficult to master, but this recipe breaks the process down into easy-to-follow steps. The end result is a light and airy souffle with a rich, chocolatey flavor and a subtle hint of hazelnut. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and some toasted hazelnuts for an extra special touch. This Chocolate Hazelnut Souffle is perfect for a date night in, a dinner party, or any other occasion that calls for a show-stopping dessert.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.Grease four 6-ounce ramkins with butter and sprinkle with sugar.
3.In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the chocolate, hazelnut liqueur, vanilla, and 1/4 cup sugar.
4.In another saucepan, whisk together the flour, milk, and salt. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened.
5.Whisk the egg yolks into the milk mixture, then add the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
6.In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
7.Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three parts, being careful not to overmix.
8.Divide the mixture between the prepared ramkins, filling them three-quarters full.
9.Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the souffles are puffed and set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
10.Serve immediately, garnished with whipped cream and toasted hazelnuts if desired.

PROS

This Chocolate Hazelnut Souffle is a show-stopping dessert that is sure to wow guests.
The combination of the rich chocolate and nutty hazelnut flavors is simply irresistible.

The souffle is also surprisingly easy to make, despite its intimidating reputation.

CONS

Souffles are notoriously finicky and can be tricky to get just right.
Timing is everything – if the souffle bakes for too long it will collapse, but if it doesn’t bake long enough it will be undercooked.

This recipe also uses a fair bit of sugar, so it is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While definitely not a health food, there are some potential benefits to consuming moderate amounts of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has been shown to improve cardiovascular health, boost brain function, and even help protect skin against sun damage. Hazelnuts are also a good source of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, and have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease.
