Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter 6 medium ramekins. Melt the chocolate with the butter in a bowl over simmering water or in a microwave. Beat the eggs with the sugar until they are very light and fluffy and then fold in the flour. Fold in the chocolate mixture.
  2. Divide between the ramekins (put in the fridge at this point if you're making ahead). Bake for 8-12 minutes, the soufflés should rise and form a firm crust but you want then still to be slightly runny in the middle. Serve with cream.

Know-how

These melting chocolate puddings are much sturdier than ordinary soufflés and will behave even if made ahead (but not cooked). Just store in the fridge until you need them and remember to add a couple of minutes to the cooking time to compensate for the cold. The middle should still be saucy when they are ready.

    Made these for a dinner party, and they were amazing! I am terrible at making desserts but these were so easy to prepare in advance, I cooked them for 15 minutes to allow for them being chilled and they were perfect! Definitely my new favourite dessert.

    For some reason my soufflés came out hard and they tasted of scrambled egg! six eggs seems like an awful lot? Are you meant to separate them??

    Great recipe. Quick and easy to make. Will make again. I forgot to sift the flour, so will make sure I do so in future

    My daughter has made this twice - once as a practise run at home, then in class, as part of her school 'ready steady cook' competition. She halved the recipe. Both attempts turned out very well, and she won!

    These were so simple and perfect even after chilling for a few hours before cooking. Can't wait to do them again!

    It was a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with big lumps of flour in mine. They also took 25 minutes to cook. They're not what I'd call a proper soufflé, very disappointed.

    What a pity that your recipes are in grams and not ounces - otherwise we would all use the recipes on this website! Why not give the more mature cooks a break and include both. We will never get to grips with grams. Kindly keep us all happy.
