Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
- 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 10 oz. milk chocolate chips (or dark, if you prefer), divided
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 oz. heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the ramekins with butter or nonstick spray.
- Melt the peanut butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Once melted, add the flour, stirring until it forms a smooth paste.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and add 6 oz. of the chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and thick. Slowly add the chocolate mixture to the yolks, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three parts, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and the tops are set but the centers are still slightly soft and gooey. For more cooked insides, bake for an additional 3 minutes.
- While the soufflés are baking, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the remaining 4 oz. of chocolate chips, stirring until smooth to make a ganache.
- Serve the soufflés immediately, drizzled with chocolate ganache.
Notes
For a richer flavor, drizzle with chocolate ganache. Bake 3 minutes longer if you prefer a more set center. Serve immediately for the best texture. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
