Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g unsweetened dark chocolate (70% or higher cocoa)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/3 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Instructions

  • Melt Chocolate and Butter:
    Set up a double boiler or place a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Add the chocolate and butter, stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Separate the Eggs:
    Crack the eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Be careful not to get any yolk in the whites.
  • Beat the Egg Whites:
    Add a pinch of salt and cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat until soft peaks form, then gradually add the sweetener while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Mix the Yolks with Chocolate:
    Stir the vanilla into the cooled chocolate mixture, then whisk in the egg yolks one at a time until smooth.
  • Fold in the Egg Whites:
    Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Gradually fold in the remaining whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  • Prepare Ramekins:
    Grease 4 small ramekins with butter and sprinkle with a bit of sweetener. Fill the ramekins with the soufflé mixture, leveling off the tops. Run your thumb around the inner edge for even rising.
  • Bake:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until risen and set on top but slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Serve Immediately:
    Serve the soufflés straight out of the oven with a dusting of powdered erythritol or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure your egg whites are free of yolk for the best rise.
  • Room-temperature eggs whip better, but if they’re cold, warm them in water for a few minutes.
  • If you don’t have cream of tartar, you can skip it, but it helps stabilize the egg whites.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, as soufflés tend to deflate after a few minutes.
