The Hot Chocolate Souffle is a classic French dessert that has become popular worldwide. This rich and indulgent dessert is perfect for special occasions and can impress even the most discerning guests. The souffle has a light and airy texture due to the beaten egg whites that are folded into the chocolate mixture. The combination of chocolate and vanilla creates a dessert that is decadent and rich. Topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, this dessert is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease four 8-ounce ramekins with 1 teaspoon butter each and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, tilting to coat the sides evenly. Tap out any excess.
2.In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa, flour, and remaining sugar until no lumps remain. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
3.Place the pan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the egg yolks, remaining butter, and vanilla. Set aside to cool slightly.
4.In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium, adding the cream of tartar and salt, until foamy. Increase the speed to high and gradually add the remaining sugar, beating until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
5.Add one-third of the egg white mixture to the cocoa mixture and whisk until smooth. Gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture one-third at a time until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
6.Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins and smooth the tops with a spatula. Run your finger around the inside rim of each ramekin to create a small channel.
7.Bake until puffed and set, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
