A chocolate soufflé is a light, fluffy dessert made primarily from chocolate, eggs, and sugar. It is known for its airy texture, which is achieved by folding whipped egg whites into a rich chocolate mixture. When baked, the soufflé rises dramatically, creating a delicate outer crust and a soft, molten center. Typically served warm, a chocolate soufflé can be enjoyed on its own or with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream. This dessert is often associated with French cuisine and is a popular choice in fine dining restaurants, showcasing the skill of the chef.
