    To begin making the Rich Decadent Chocolate Souffle Recipe first grease individual ramekins with butter generously

    Next dust 1 tablespoon white sugar into the ramekins and coat all the sides of the ramekins

    This sugar coating will ensure the souffle is held to the bowl when they start to rise

    Spoon in 1/3 rd of egg whites into the chocolate mixture and using a spatula fold into the chocolate mixture

    Continue adding the egg whites in parts and fold into the chocolate mixture, folding gently taking care not to deflate the egg whites

    Be gentle and using the folding technique

  18. 18

    Spoon the mixture into ramekins evenly with batter all the way up to the top

  19. 19

    Then smooth the surface using a spatula to get a nice flat top

  20. 20

    An important tip to make the souffle get a nice beautiful height is to run your thumb at the perimeter of the ramekins and create a small channel along the edge

  21. 21

    Do this to get a good ¼ to ½ inch perimeter channel in the ramekins

  22. 22

    Clean the outer surface of the ramekins using a kitchen towel and pop the ramekins into the oven and bake it for 13 to 15 minutes or until it’s risen well and cooked

  23. 23

    Once souffle is done and risen, remove it from the baking tray using kitchen towel, as I found using oven mittens could disturb and break the souffle at the top

  24. 24

    Dust with confectionery sugar, add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and serve immediately
