"Hot" chocolate soufflés

Of course, not always and not everyone succeeds in being in Paris at will, but each of us can create an appropriate atmosphere at home. And an exquisite, light French dessert - chocolate soufflé will help us in this.

Strictly speaking, the soufflé does not have to be sweet and even more so chocolate, it can be vegetable, meat, mushroom, fish, cottage cheese, berry and many others. But chocolate soufflé is “something special,” as they say in Odessa.

The basis of any soufflé is made up of beaten egg whites and a base mixture that determines the taste of the future dish. In our case, the base will be chocolate mass in various variations.

Classic recipe

The first thing to look at is the freshness of the products used, in particular the eggs. Second, all ingredients should be at room temperature. In addition, it should be remembered that before you start preparing the portioned soufflé, you should prepare the baking tins. Ceramic containers are best suited, however, if they are not available, silicone or metal containers will come off, but this is still a compromise. Molds need to be smeared with butter, then pour sugar inside and pour it out immediately. The sugar crystals will stick to the oil base and create a "fur coat" on which the souffle mass will subsequently be laid out. Now you need to put the prepared molds in the refrigerator and forget about them for a while.

It's time to start making the chocolate soufflé directly.

We will need:

• 140 g of bitter chocolate;
• 50 g butter;
• 70 g sugar;
• 4 egg yolks;
• 2 egg whites.

1. Break the chocolate into pieces, put it in a saucepan and melt it in a water bath.

2. Add butter and sugar to the melted chocolate.

3. Stir until we get a homogeneous (homogeneous) mass.

   

   Stir until smooth

4. We remove from the bath, cool to room temperature.
5. Separate the yolks from the whites. Add 4 yolks to the cooled chocolate-butter mass. Stir until smooth.

6. Beat the whites until they become elastic foam, which is extremely important, since the success of the whole enterprise depends on it.

   

   Whisk the whites into a cool foam

7. Then, gently gradually introduce proteins into the prepared chocolate mass. First, in a circular motion, distribute them on the surface, and then gradually intervene in the rest. You should get a homogeneous airy chocolate mass.

8. We take out the forms from the refrigerator, put half of the future soufflé in them. Then we put a towel folded several times on the table and sharply knock on it with the bottom of the container with the mass, after which we fill in the form to the end. Separate the mass from the walls of the mold with a thin knife. These ritual actions should prevent the finished soufflé from falling off.

   

   We lay out the chocolate mass in ceramic molds

9. We heat the oven to 200 degrees and only after that we put the filled baking dishes.

10. We bake for 7 minutes without opening the oven door. We take out the soufflé from the oven, serve it hot or cold with powdered sugar, chocolate icing, jam or a scoop of ice cream. You can also put a leaf of mint for added piquancy.

    

    The finished soufflé can be sprinkled with icing sugar

Delicate dessert on semolina

Thanks to the step-by-step recipe for making a chocolate soufflé on semolina, even a novice housewife can surprise her loved ones with a magnificent dessert.

• 100 g sugar;
• 40 g butter;
• 2 eggs;
• 2 tbsp. l. cocoa;
• grated chocolate.

1. Cook thick semolina porridge from semolina and milk in a steam bath. Boil water in a large saucepan, place a smaller saucepan inside, previously rinsed with water. Pour in the milk, wait for it to boil, pour in the semolina with a thin stream or using a sieve, stirring constantly, in order to avoid the appearance of the main enemies of cooks - lumps. If the mean lumps still started to form, take a whisk and stir the porridge with them. The lumps will disperse. Cook for 10-15 minutes, then close the lid and leave to cool to room temperature.

   

   First, cook thick semolina porridge

2. Mix 2 yolks with sugar, add butter and cocoa, mash.
