Ingredients
  

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (12 tablespoons)
  • 10 squares semisweet chocolate (1-ounce, chopped)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 6 large eggs separated

Equipment

  • Double boiler
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Souffle dishes
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your souffle dishes with butter and dust them with sugar to help the soufflé rise evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a double boiler, combine the chopped semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until well combined.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 1 cup of sugar until the mixture is pale and thick. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg yolks, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Step 4: In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; the fluffiness comes from this delicate process.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared souffle dishes, filling them about three-quarters full. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they have risen and the tops are slightly cracked.
  7. Step 7: Remove the soufflés from the oven and serve immediately for the best texture. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra special touch.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Dust your soufflé dishes with sugar for better rising.
  • Serve immediately for optimal fluffiness.
  • Consider pairing with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
