Thank you for posting this. I used 74% dark chocolate. It was my first attempt at making any type of souffle and it came out great.

What is the ingredient shown on the plate with the dark chocolate in the very first picture showing all of the ingredients? It looks like cream cheese, but the recipe doesn't call for any...Is it the butter?

Great recipe i made two small ramekins using dark chocolate (70%) from WalMart. I used the whole chocolate bar (3.5 oz) and it worked perfectly. The chocolate is made in Germany and tastes surprisingly good. I also used the three egg whites and the height was impressive and the souffle delicious. For those of you who want to substitute cream of tartar: just use equal amount of vinegar. I've sustituted this many times and even did it with these souffles and it works perfectly.

This was my first attempt, and the instructions with pictures are incredibly reassuring. I had to make a few substitutions (or a trip to the store). I used milk chocolate and half and half instead of cream. They looked a little undercooked at 15 minutes, so I added 2, and they turned out well. My kids were asking for more and my husband said it was the best dessert he'd ever had. Thanks!

I made this recipe with 62% cacao chocolate. It was delicious and moist, but despite the moistness it had a drying effect on my tongue. Any idea what caused that? I would rather not have that effect if I can help it.

Could be your brand of chocolate. What brand is it and how does it taste when you eat it out of hand?

It's Nestle brand. I don't notice any drying effect from just eating the chocolate itself.

Can you list the ingredients of the chocolate? If I don't see anything odd there (should be just cocoa/cacao solids and butter, lecithin, and sugar) then I'll have to ponder this a bit more.

.........can you cook souffle in a microwave?

this I once tried.

would have made a wonderful grade school volcano science project, but as to serving the resulting mess,,,, well - we called it scrambled eggs . . . . not recommended.

This recipe is very easy to understand, I appreciate what you have done. I'm excited to make this; souffles aren't scary, if it doesn't come out right try again! Wink

This sounds delicious, but why are there two steps for folding the egg whites? Where you wrote:

"Adding the whites a little at a time, fold them into the chocolate mixture."

and

"Without over mixing, fold the remaining egg whites into the batter."

How can there be any egg whites "remaining" if I do the first folding step?
