Palo Chocolate Soufflé Recipe

Today's Foodie Fare find is a recipe from Palo the Disney Cruise Line signature dining experience. Dining at Palo is reserved exclusively for adults. Every romantic dinner, exquisite champagne brunch and elegant afternoon high tea provides unsurpassed service and inspired Northern Italian cuisine. 

This is one cruise experience you don't want to miss. I always make ADRs for date night on the high seas at Palo. Sometimes more than one night too;)  
The dessert menu includes this signature chocolate soufflé. It's Dreamy, Magical & Wonderful!

Ingredients You'll Need:

3 tablespoons butter, plus more for greasing the soufflé cups
6 tablespoons sugar, plus more for dusting the soufflé cups
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons *Dutch-processed cocoa
2 ounces (2/3 cups) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted
4 eggs, separated


any style ramekin will do as soufflé cups 
Preparation
1.        Preheat oven to 350. Set a full kettle of water on to boil.

2.        Butter six 4-ounce soufflé cups and coat with sugar, set aside.
3.        Bring milk to boil in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cocoa to the butter and beat with a whisk until it has a smooth, paste-like consistency. Reduce heat and cook for 1 minute.
4.        Slowly add hot milk, whisking until smooth, then blend in melted chocolate. Let cool for 5 minutes, then stir egg yolks.
5.       Beat egg whites in separate bowl until frothy.  Slowly add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time until glossy peaks form. Stir a heaping spoonful of egg whites into the chocolate, then fold in the remaining whites just until combined.
6.        Pour the batter into prepared soufflé cups.  Place cups in a large baking dish and add enough boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the soufflé cups.
7.        Bake for 20 minutes. Serve immediately with warm vanilla sauce.

*More info than you need to know
Dutch- processed cocoa was developed in the 19th century. It is chocolate that has been treated to modify it's color and give it a milder smoother taste compared to natural cocoa. It is used in ice cream, hot cocoa and baking. Dutch chocolate does not react with baking soda. It should be used in recipes that require baking powder.

  8. Love it! We visit Palos every time we cruise with DCL and we always have the souffle. Some day I may get brave enough to try making it at home, but my preference is to take a cruise and enjoy it at Palos!
