GIANT CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack at the bottom of the oven, removing the other rack.
• Grease the ramekin with the softened butter and pour in ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar. Tilt the ramekin to coat with sugar evenly, then pour out the excess and set the ramekin aside.
• In a medium saucepan, scald the milk over medium heat. Just before boiling, remove the milk from the heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate until melted. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar, the flour, salt, and vanilla, until smooth.
• Add ½ cup (120 ml) of the chocolate milk mixture to the yolks and whisk until combined. This will temper the egg yolks so they don't curdle when added to the rest of the chocolate mixture.
• Return the pan with the remaining chocolate milk mixture back to the stove over medium heat and pour in the chocolate egg yolk mixture. Whisk constantly until thick.
• Remove the chocolate pastry cream from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. With an electric hand mixer, whip the egg whites until they turn opaque and leave trails. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Spoon about 1 cup (240 ml) of the whites into the chocolate pastry cream. Fold until no white streaks remain. Gently fold in the rest of the whites in 2 additions, being careful not to deflate the whites. Once no white streaks are visible, transfer the batter to the prepared ramekin and smooth out the top.
• Run your thumb between the outside edge of the dish and the batter to create a border.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C), then immediately place the soufflé in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the soufflé has risen over the edge of the dish. Do not open the oven while baking.
• Dust the soufflé with powdered sugar and top with whipped cream.
• Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT PUFF PASTRY TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
• Unfold 1 sheet of the puff pastry onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll the pastry with a rolling pin to seal together any folds. Spread 1/2 cup of the chocolate hazelnut spread on the sheet, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Starting with a longer side, tightly roll up the pastry into a log. Cut the log in half lengthwise then carefully twist together the 2 strands to form a braid. Pinch the pastry together at each end to hold the braid in place.
• Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining chocolate hazelnut spread. Transfer the twists to the prepared baking sheet.
• Beat the egg in a small bowl then brush onto the twists. Sprinkle with sanding sugar and bake until golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking sheet before slicing and serving.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Brush 6 (6-ounce) ramekins with soft butter, then coat with sugar. Put the prepared ramekins in the freezer. (This can be done a day ahead.)
• Set an oven rack in lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Put the chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside.
• Combine the egg yolks and warm water in the bowl of a standing mixer or large bowl and beat until frothy. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar, and continue beating until ribbons form, about 5 minutes. Very lightly fold the yolks into the chocolate mixture. (Rinse the bowl well, if using for beating the egg whites.)
• Remove prepared ramekins from freezer. Put the egg whites in the bowl of a standing mixer, or large non-reactive bowl, add the lemon juice. Beat on medium until frothy; then gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and increase speed to high. Beat until the whites hold a stiff but not dry peak.
• Working quickly, fold about a third of the egg whites into the chocolate to lighten; then fold in remaining whites until blended. Gently ladle or spoon the souffle mixture into the ramekins, and place on a baking sheet. (Level off the surface with a straight edge, scraping any excess mixture back into the bowl.)
• Immediately bake until the souffle rises about 1 1/2 inches from the ramekins, and the tops are touched with brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

WHITE HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Toast the hazelnuts in the oven until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes, checking often. Remove the skins from the nuts by rubbing them in a towel while they are still hot. Grind in food processor until they are powdered.
• In a saucepan, combine the flour, milk, egg yolks, 6 ounces of the sugar, and the salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat, and cook until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.
• Melt the white chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Add the melted chocolate to the flour mixture and stir well. Set the mixture aside to cool and rest.
• Melt the butter. Brush the inside of 4 (2-ounce) souffle molds with the melted butter. Sprinkle some sugar inside the molds and tap out the excess to leave a light coating of sugar all around the inside of the mold.
• Whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Gently fold the egg white into the chocolate mixture, alternating with the hazelnut powder. Place the souffle mixture into the prepared molds. Bake for 18 minutes. Serve immediately.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 1 1/2-quart tall-sided baking dish. Coat with sugar, tapping out excess. Set dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine chocolate, vanilla, and 1/4 cup water. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, 20 minutes.
• Stir egg yolks into cooled chocolate mixture until well combined. Set souffle base aside.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes (do not overbeat).
• In two additions, fold egg-white mixture into souffle base: With a rubber spatula, gently cut down through center and lift up some base from bottom of bowl. Turning bowl, steadily continue to cut down and lift up base until just combined.
• Transfer mixture to dish, taking care not to get batter on top edge of dish; smooth top. Bake souffle until puffed and set, 30 to 35 minutes. (Do not open oven during first 25 minutes of baking.) Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO SOUFFLéS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• 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!
