Instructions for Super‑easy Chocolate Soufflés with Raspberry Sauce
- Begin by preparing the raspberry sauce. Blitz the raspberries in a blender, then strain through a sieve into a small saucepan. Add the icing sugar and orange liqueur, simmer over low heat for about 3 minutes until slightly reduced, then set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, grease four tall ramekins (10 cm diameter × 7 cm height) with butter and dust with caster sugar; chill until needed. Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
- In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate. Whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time, until thickened, then remove from heat.
- Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks, adding the caster sugar one tablespoon at a time. Fold a tablespoon of the egg whites into the chocolate to lighten, then gently fold in the rest.
- Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins. Level the tops and run your finger around the rim—this helps them rise evenly. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until well risen and slightly wobbly in the center.
- To serve, dust each soufflé with icing sugar, top with a generous spoonful of mascarpone, drizzle with the raspberry sauce, and serve immediately.
