Ingredients

5 large eggs separated
125 grams 85% dark chocolate or sugar free chocolate chip
1 tablespoon coconut oil plus more to grease pan
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
pinch salt
4 tbsp Monk Fruit Allulose blend
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Skillet Oven Directions

Preheat the oven to 400F.
Separate egg yolks and whites.
Melt coconut oil and chocolate together. Leave to cool , stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, beat the egg whites using an electric whisk until stiff peaks form. As they start to froth add the cream of tartar, salt and half the sweetener.
Beat the egg yolks with the rest of sweetener until pale in color. Working quickly add the melted chocolate, cacao and vanilla into the yolks.
Fold in the egg whites a little at a time, making sure not to deflate.
Generously grease an 8 inch skillet with coconut oil or butter.
Pour the batter into the skillet and bake in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes until set but slightly soft. Remember it will continue to cook in the pan as it’s hot.

Oven Directions for Individual Souffles

Bake at 400°F for:
10-12 minutes for 4-ounce ramekins
12-15 minutes for 8-ounce ramekins
The center should still jiggle slightly when removed from the oven.

Air Fryer Directions for Individual Souffles

Preheat air fryer to 375°F.
Place ramekins into the air fryer basket, leaving space between each dish.
Cook for:
8-10 minutes for 4-ounce ramekins
10-12 minutes for 6-ounce ramekins
Air fryer models vary, so check a minute or two early the first time you make them.
Slice and serve with keto ice-cream, yogurt or sugar free whipped cream.

Storage

This keto chocolate soufflé is best enjoyed immediately after baking while it’s light and airy. Like all soufflés, it will naturally deflate as it cools.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and enjoyed chilled or gently reheated, though the texture will be more like a rich flourless chocolate cake than a traditional soufflé.
