Indulge in these delightful Dark Chocolate Cherry Soufflé Cups, perfect for a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (60-70% cocoa)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease four ramekins with butter, then lightly coat them with granulated sugar.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and butter. Heat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the cooled chocolate mixture.
- In another bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three parts, then gently mix in the chopped cherries.
- Spoon the soufflé batter into the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until risen and set around the edges, soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture.
- You can substitute cherries with raspberries or strawberries for a different variation.
