What is a souffle and where did it come from?

A souffle is a light and airy French dish made with eggs, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and butter. It’s often served with a vanilla or chocolate sauce on top. The word “soufflé” comes from the French verb “souffler” which means “to puff up.” This refers to the way the souffle rises in the oven while it bakes.

The chocolate soufflé is thought to have originated in the early 1800s, and it quickly became a popular dessert in France. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that the dish made its way to America.

Today, chocolate soufflés are enjoyed all over the world!

How to make a chocolate soufflé – the perfect recipe for National Chocolate Souffle Day

Making a chocolate soufflé at home is actually quite simple! Here’s what you’ll need:

-1/3 cup of sugar

-1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

-3 tablespoons of flour

-1/2 teaspoon of salt

-6 tablespoons of butter

-1 cup of milk

-4 eggs, separated

To make the soufflé, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt in a small bowl. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the milk and whisk until it’s hot but not boiling. Pour the milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk until everything is combined.

Next, add the egg yolks to the batter and mix until they’re fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate batter until everything is combined.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured soufflé dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the soufflé has risen and is firm to the touch. Serve immediately with a vanilla or chocolate sauce on top. Enjoy!
