Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, plus 1/4 cup
  • 1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur (recommended: Frangelico)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 ounces milk chocolate, chopped, plus 6 ounces chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • Pinch salt
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Butter and sugar 6 (6-ounce) ramekins.

Heat the butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, hazelnut liqueur, and vanilla in a double boiler over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove the butter mixture from the heat, add the chocolate, and let sit until it melts, about 3 minutes. Place the chocolate mixture in a pie dish and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up. Use a spoon to form the chilled mixture into 6 evenly-sized balls about the size of a walnut. Reserve in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, place the flour in a double boiler and slowly whisk in the milk. Add the salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly until thick, about 5 minutes. Add the egg yolks and continue to whisk constantly. The mixture will thicken to the consistency of mayonnaise in another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat. Stir in the 6 ounces of chocolate and set aside to let the chocolate melt.

Place the egg whites in a large bowl with the cream of tartar. Using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks. Gradually add in the 1/4 cup sugar and continue whipping until firm peaks. Fold the egg whites into the warm chocolate mixture.

Place a ball of the chilled chocolate mixture in each of the ramekins. Spoon the souffle mixture over the chocolate balls and up to the rim of the ramekins. (At this point the souffle can be covered and kept refrigerated for 2 days.)

Place the ramekins in a hot water bath and bake until golden on top and the souffle has risen, about 30 minutes (40 minutes if refrigerated). Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

    Terrific!!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The flavors of this souffle is fantastic. I used semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate and it came out great. ... Didn't rise as much as I thought it would, but the molten hazelnut center was fabulous. Spectacular.Read more

    Outstanding

    Multi-step, but worth it. It's great that you can make it ahead of time and keep in the fridge until you need it. A... definite keeper.Read more

    This recipe is outstanding. I substituted the frangelico for Amaretto, and still came out delicious. This is not a simple... dessert, but easy to make. It's my husband's favorite!!!Read more

    This was the first souffle I have ever made, and it turned out perfectly! It was perfectly delicious as well. Not to sweet,... and the perfect amount of chocolate. Love Giada's desserts!Read more

    Too Good!!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have always been a bit hesitant to try one of Giada's desserts before but this was amazing. The chocolate mixture melts... when you dip your spoon into the souffle and it's what makes it so so good. I also used Grand Manier and would probably use a bit more next time, couldn't really taste it. Made it for a dinner with friends last night, we ate them with vanilla bean ice-cream, yumm!!! I warmed up the one left over tonight, just as good. BTW, if you don't understand what the chocolate mixture is, read the recipe again and pay attention this time...Read more
