What is Souffle?
Soufflé is a light and fluffy dessert that has spread from French cuisine to the world. Its name comes from the French word “souffler” and refers to “to swell”. This dessert rises in the oven thanks to the air bubbles created by beating the egg whites and gains its unique texture. Although there are different varieties such as chocolate, vanilla, lemon or cheese, the most popular is the chocolate soufflé. When served hot, it leaves an unforgettable taste on the palate with the fluid chocolate inside. Göreme Melamine’s melamine bowls make a difference in presentation by ensuring that this dessert maintains its temperature for a long time.

How to Make Soufflé?
Making soufflé is a very enjoyable process when you follow it step by step. Göreme Melamine’s heat-resistant melamine bowls are a perfect choice for this recipe because they allow you to serve the hot dessert safely. Here is the detailed soufflé recipe:
- Prepare the oven and pots: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a bowl with butter and cover with granulated sugar. This will ensure the soufflés rise and come out of the mould easily.
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a bain-marie. When the chocolate is completely melted and has a smooth consistency, remove it from the stove and let it cool slightly.
- Add the egg yolks: Add egg yolks and vanilla to melted chocolate mixture. Mix gently until mixture is homogeneous.
- Beat the egg whites: Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and start beating with a mixer. When it starts to foam, add the granulated sugar little by little. Beat until the egg whites form glossy and stiff peaks.
- Combine the mixtures: Add the beaten egg whites to the chocolate mixture in three stages. Fold gently with a spatula, folding from bottom to top. This will keep the mixture light and fluffy.
- Fill into molds: Divide the mixture between the bowls. Fill each bowl about three-quarters full so it doesn’t overflow while rising.
- Cook: Place the bowls on the baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes. The soufflés will puff up and the top will crack slightly. Do not open the oven or they may deflate.
- ServeServe the soufflés immediately after they come out of the oven. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or serve with vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Soufflé
Making soufflé is quite easy when you pay attention to a few simple but important points. First of all, having the ingredients at room temperature allows the egg whites in particular to be whipped better. In addition, greasing the inside of the soufflé dishes and coating them with granulated sugar helps the dessert rise. Göreme Melamine’s smooth-surfaced bowls make this preparation process easier and allow the dessert to come out of the mold easily. Here are a few things to consider when making this recipe:
- Beat the egg whites carefully: Do not mix the egg whites with the yolks and beat until they reach a completely foamy consistency.
- Preheat the oven: The soufflé should start to rise as soon as it goes into the oven, so the oven should be ready at 180°C.
- Work quickly: Use gentle, quick motions to combine the whipped egg whites with the chocolate mixture.
Frequently Asked Questions When Making Soufflé
Some questions may come to your mind while making soufflé. Here are the most common questions and answers:
Why Does a Souffle Go Off?
If the soufflé is not served immediately after removing it from the oven or if the mixture is over-mixed, it may deflate. Gently folding in the egg whites and not opening the oven while baking will help keep the soufflés fluffy.
