Vegan & Gluten-Free Chocolate Soufflé Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 1 - 2 mins
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk
- 1 egg, separated into yolks and whites
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Method:
- Place the chocolate chips, salt, and milk in the Anyday dish and cook uncovered in the microwave for 1 minute, or until melted. Mix until smooth. Then, add the yolks to the chocolate mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form .
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in 3 batches until it forms a creamy mixture.
- Wipe the edges of the Anyday with a clean towel before cooking to help the soufflé rise to an impressive height.
- Cook uncovered for 30 seconds or until the soufflé just puffs up at the edge. The top should still look slightly glossy and creamy. (Note: The soufflé will collapse as soon as the timer goes off, but will remain airy and light inside. If it does not collapse, it means it was a little overcooked!)
Serving Suggestions & Tips
- Pour some hot chocolate sauce or cold vanilla sauce over the soufflé for a decorative touch.
- Use dark or milk chocolate depending on your preference.
- Add a splash of coffee or orange liquor to the milk for a boozy twist.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
