Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Thoroughly grease the bottoms and sides of four ramekins with the tablespoon of butter. Coat with sugar, shaking out any excess. If you like, place a raspberry and a drizzle of chocolate as a surprise at the bottom of each cup.
- 2
Combine the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a tablespoon of the sugar; set aside. Mix the butter and flour into a paste. Lightly whisk one egg yolk in a heatproof bowl.
- 3
Heat the milk to a boil in a heavy saucepan; whisk in the flour-butter paste until it melts. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk in a steady stream while whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and bring the custard to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- 4
Cook and stir the custard until it thickens, about 1 minute.
- 5
Remove from the heat, stirring occasionally to keep it smooth.
- 6
Combine the three remaining egg yolks with the vanilla, liqueur, and the sugar-cocoa-cornstarch mixture. Whisk in the warm custard, cover, and set aside. (The custard can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated for a day before continuing with the recipe.)
- 7
About 35 minutes before serving, whip the egg whites until thick and foamy and quadrupled in volume.
- 8
Gradually mix in the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, whipping until the egg whites are stiff but not dry.
- 9
Fold 1/3 of the meringue into the custard to lighten it, using a whisk or rubber spatula. Fold in the remaining meringue.
- 10
Immediately transfer the souffle batter to the prepared ramekins, forming a smooth mound that rises slightly above the rim of each ramekin. (If you have a piping bag, you may pipe the mixture into the ramekins.)
- 11
Bake at once in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the souffles have risen and the edges are set.
- 12
Serve hot, with raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries for garnish, if desired.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
