Warm, Gooey, Rich, and Beautifully Baked.
This is the Nutella Chocolate Soufflé.
This recipe makes 4 hefty servings (7 oz each), but you could also modify it to fit 6 (6 oz) ramekins for smaller servings.
As this dessert is so rich, you will definitely want to find either your ice cream scoop or your whipping cream canister.
This is a necessity.
Either one.
I chose low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt (Publix brand is the BEST). Logan had whipped cream. No surprise there considering he will have anything with whipped cream. I have to always keep our fridge stocked. However, this week, I bought organic heavy whipping cream to make a special treat for Logan with homemade whipping cream. He’s going to be so happy! 😀
Nutella Chocolate Soufflés
adapted from all you magazine: February 2011 issue
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened special dark cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 large eggs
- 1 egg white

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons Nutella
How-To
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Spray four 7 ounce ramekins with canola oil.
- Get a roasting pan out and ready. Also, get some water boiling in a kettle (or pot).
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa and baking powder together.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, cook the chocolate and butter for 1-2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir. Whisk until smooth.
- Finally, in a bowl with an electric mixer handy, beat the eggs, vanilla, sugar and salt until pale yellow (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in melted chocolate mixture.
- Stir in the flour mixture.
- Spoon enough batter to fill the ramekins half-way.
- Drop a tablespoon of Nutella into the center of each.
- Cover with the remaining batter.
- Transfer the ramekins to the roasting pan, fill with 1/2″ of hot water, and bake until the cakes have risen and are cracked on top (about 30 minutes).
- Let cool for 5 minutes.

Then, I modified it to see about making it a little less bad. 😀
However, the version below was more of a mini-cake and didn’t have that ooey-gooey inside. Boo. But, it was still so good.
If I were to make them again, I would make the first version and just splurge on the health factor. Delicious!
