Chocolate Soufflé

served with orange cream

Make the chocolate soufflé mix
Preparation time approx. 15 minutes

Ingredients required: Equipment required:

• 15g butter • 1 heatproof mixing bowl

• 60g dark chocolate • 2 saucepans
(1 with simmering water in, ¼
• 1 egg full)

• Whisk

Pantry Ingredients required:

• 15g plain flour

• 80ml whole milk
• Pinch of salt

1. Break up the chocolate into pieces and add them to a heat proof mixing
bowl. Set the bowl over a lightly simmering pan of water and melt the
chocolate, ensuring the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl.

2. Whilst the chocolate is melting add the butter in a saucepan over a
medium heat. Once the butter has melted add the flour in bit by bit. Whisk
until flour is incorporated into butter and the mixture thickens, about 1
minute. Reduce heat to low.

3. Add in the milk and whisk until mixture becomes smooth and thickens,
this will take approx. 2 minutes.

4. Once thickened remove saucepan from heat. Transfer the mixture into the
bowl with melted chocolate. Add a pinch of salt and mix thoroughly. Add
1 egg yolk and mix to combine. Do not discard the egg white, you will
need it later.

5. Cover and place in fridge until the beginning of your meal.
