Scale
- 15g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp cornflour
- 40g grated white chocolate
- 90ml whole milk
- 2 eggs, separated
- 6 tsp lemon curd
- 1 tsp butter, for greasing
- Icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Melt a little butter and brush this around the inside of 2 ramekins, then dust with a little sugar and place in the fridge to chill.
- In a small saucepan, mix the flour, cornflour, and grated white chocolate.
- Slowly heat the milk until just below boiling, then gradually whisk it into the flour mixture until smooth.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a large bowl and the whites in a separate clean bowl.
- Whisk the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate them.
- Spoon 3 teaspoons of lemon curd into the bottom of each ramekin.
- Carefully fill the ramekins with the souffle mixture, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
- Run your thumb around the inside edge of each ramekin to help the souffles rise evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the souffles have risen and are golden brown on top.
- Serve immediately, dusted with icing sugar.
Notes
Chill the ramekins before baking to help the souffles rise. Ensure the chocolate mixture is at room temperature before folding in the egg whites. Do not open the oven door while baking to prevent the souffles from collapsing. Serve immediately as souffles will start to sink within a few minutes. You can use a larger oven dish if ramekins are not available.
