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 tsp 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.
