Chef John, I have only made 3 or 4 of your dishes and the sweet potatoes and black bean chili was my favorite. Honestly I just watch your videos because I love food and you are so enjoyable to watch. You have a soothing sound to your voice that makes it easy to do so. Thanks for all the years of content. Does anyone else watch for the same reasons as me? The only other person that has done this for me is Alton Brown and I watched every episode of Good Eats and purchased his books. I wanted to be a cook growing up, but it didn't pan out. I am 30 now and I just wanted to let you know, you have the best cooking content I have seen on TH-cam.
TheDaringPastry1313 Yes! I don't cook and I've never actually used one of his videos for a recipe, but I watch whenever he uploads something. I don't know why.
Chef John - To say thank you for teaching me to look as if I am a pro in the kitchen, I watch the commercials on your channel. Keep on cooking and I'll keep on watching.
Made this today for myself and my girlfriend with raspberry chocolate, and it was phenomenal. Sadly I didn't have ceramic ramekins just lying around, so I had to use glass. However, it turned out delicious nonetheless. Just didn't rise quite as high. But still, utterly perfect. Thanks for another amazing recipe.
What "chocolate delivery systems" do you prefer? Fedex, UPS, Cruise Missile? I personally prefer the Ballistic for my ldr as it cuts out the middle man, but still has that big impact of a Cruise.
hi John that chocolate souffle is awsome!☺ how much chocolate and flour do I use for 6 ramekins. (measurements please)thank you for sharing your recipies🍛🍚🍙🍜🍮🍯🍝👍
I have no wifi and limited data. I'm getting my internet fixed tomorrow am. I wasted valuable data because I knew this would be worth watching. You did not disappoint.
Even though it's become one of the running jokes of this channel, a tiny amount of some kind of chili really gives chocolate cakes and such a nice little touch :)
Why does Chef John use a roux for the chocolate base? I thought a roux was supposed to a thickener for sauces, etc. and a souffle is supposed to be light and airy. Wouldn't a roux work against the whipped egg whites in terms of texture?
Thank you Chef John, there's two things I have trouble making one is sponge cake & the other is souffle. I haven't given up hope yet, I'm still tryin. I'II give it a go & let you know how it turns out. Ciao Ciao 😀😀
Gaaaaah!!! SO tempting! My husband's over there shaking his head at me... He knows my track record with souffles - not good. I can make just about anything in the kitchen, but... not this. "sigh"
+Ruthie If only...! He actually does pretty well in the kitchen and has his own "signature" dishes. Haha! But... I read him your comment and he just laughed. :-D
2 questions:The butter can be browned before add the flour?And can you explain the difference of Belgian cocoa powder and other types(or there's blog post for this one?)?
Can you make any part of the soufflé in advance? Like mixing the flour and chocolate and then when you are ready for the soufflé whip up the egg whites? I've always wanted to try soufflés for dessert and this recipe looks Yummy.
Chef John I love your videos!! I could really use a video about what kitchen essentials you need (utensil/equipment wise). Please share your tips/expertise :) Much love from Tucson!

"The old folding technique"
John, you know as well as I do that it's called the old folda-folda.
2/10, did not say old folda-folda in video, but still would recommend.
1lapmagic hehe, you've been a long time subbie I see.
give it the ooooooold folda folda.
i lost my shit to that hahaha "folda-folda"
You're the Michael Bublé to this chocolate soufflé!
Delicate Dark this is so good!
I think Gary Mehigan from Masterchef Australia makes a superior Dark chocolate Souffle. And it's safe for Celiak diseased people.
that does not rhyme at all tho
Back at it again with the lots of compliments innuendo. It never gets old 😊
You are the Dennis Quaid of getting l...ots of compliments.
stormbob hahaha
DENNIS QUAID IS HERE!
Chef John - To say thank you for teaching me to look as if I am a pro in the kitchen, I watch the commercials on your channel. Keep on cooking and I'll keep on watching.
Brilliant! Seldom do I feel need to comment here, however this technique and execution deserve praise!
Chef John is my wingman.
Dog's would just rather have the wing in wingman
These videos have helped me refind my love for cooking, thanks Chef!
I clicked on it 1 second after he posted it...this is the earliest I've ever been....anyways this looks so delicious

Chef John is the best!!! Make meringue by hand...what's more impressive than that??
Gotta love Chef John's annual valentines day episode filled with innuendos and chocolate. I live for consistency.
Omg this guy sounds so happy and optimistic I love him
love your descriptions, they really ensure the cook doesn't mess up a good recipe
Wonderful idea for my anniversary, Valentine's Day! Thank you.
i love chef john. he is a gift to humanity
CHEF JOHN YES! Makin' my day, with chocolate souffle!
This videos feels like a PBS show on TH-cam...I mean that in a good way
Chef John is my favorite person on TH-cam across all genres
Is it just me or his voice cracks you up!?
What "chocolate delivery systems" do you prefer? Fedex, UPS, Cruise Missile? I personally prefer the Ballistic for my ldr as it cuts out the middle man, but still has that big impact of a Cruise.
I suppose "You're the Bobby Flay of your Chocolate Soufflé" would be too on the nose. Both thematically, and in rhyming structure.
Thorstrike I hate to be a party pooper, but unfortunately, pastry and baking is not one of Bobby Flay's strong suits. :( I liked the analogy, though!
Thanks to chef John's recipes I've been getting lots of compliments.
You deserve 10 million subscribers, John.
hi John
that chocolate souffle is awsome!☺ how much chocolate and flour do I use for 6 ramekins. (measurements please)thank you for sharing your recipies🍛🍚🍙🍜🍮🍯🍝👍

"You are after all the Tina Fey, of getting llllots of compliments!" Well played, Chef John. Well played.
I might make this for my boyfriend! Thanks, Chef!
you'll definitely get l... ots of compliments
+Dezza2241 Since she would still get those just for being a woman, making a souffle will make her bf go down....at the spa with her.
Dezza2241 😂😂😂I hope I get more than that
MrBeatboxmasta 😂😂😂😂😂😂
MrBeatboxmasta what do you mean ?
"For two" lets be honest I'm eating this all myself
Best cooking channel on TH-cam...
I have no wifi and limited data. I'm getting my internet fixed tomorrow am. I wasted valuable data because I knew this would be worth watching.
You did not disappoint.
I'm serious. Do you put cayenne in everything? Lol
manningsgrrl
You don't?
manningsgrrl there is abundant video proof that yes, he does.
Even though it's become one of the running jokes of this channel, a tiny amount of some kind of chili really gives chocolate cakes and such a nice little touch :)
lol you must be new here
you should.

I going to try it for the first time wish me Goodluck..
Did you do all of your whisking by hand? Color me impressed.
my while family loves your channel! you're recipes are the best!
Soo, what is your preferred chocolate-delivery vehicle?
Me, personally, is being surrounded by chocolate lava cakes that never go cold so that I can die in peace and around chocolate lava cakes.
A truck.
A really big truck.
Oren Elbaz made of chocolate, of course!
I'm gonna go with chocolate.
I always though they were complicated to make...but this looks easy.
These productions are quite exquisite...
Gaaaaah!!! SO tempting! My husband's over there shaking his head at me... He knows my track record with souffles - not good. I can make just about anything in the kitchen, but... not this. "sigh"
R. McBride maybe hint at your hubby to make it, he'll be rewarded with lots of compliments? 😜
+Ruthie If only...! He actually does pretty well in the kitchen and has his own "signature" dishes. Haha! But... I read him your comment and he just laughed. :-D
R. McBride LOL!
#23 on trending! Congrats Chef John!
Notification Squad where you at?!?!
Chris Bird here
The way the guy presented this and the way he talks made watching this video very entertaining.
Finally, a sure trick. Hope I'm as lucky as you Chef John. Thanks!!
Your voice is therapy to my ears :)
Is it possible to pre-make the batter, pour them into the ramekins, and keep them till you're ready to bake? Should they be stored in a fridge?
chef john on the trending list! woot woot!
I made this with a few moderations I added vanilla and cooked it in a water bath for 22 minutes came out great
2 questions:The butter can be browned before add the flour?And can you explain the difference of Belgian cocoa powder and other types(or there's blog post for this one?)?
Can you make any part of the soufflé in advance? Like mixing the flour and chocolate and then when you are ready for the soufflé whip up the egg whites? I've always wanted to try soufflés for dessert and this recipe looks Yummy.
How did I end up here? I started out looking up videos to help my study for my AP Calc test, and now I'm here. Welp. I guess I'll hang around :)
Could the pre egg white addition also be a way to make chocolate choux pastry?
Should I bake it at the same temperature and time if I were to half the ingredient amounts?
chef John, I love your videos, and puns included.
I do have a food wish for chicken cacciatore.
You are the Queen Bey to this chocolate soufflé.
you're the man chef john
the Tenafly of geting lai.....lots of compliments
You are the Bobby Flay of your Chocolate Soufflé.
Looks very yummy! Will be trying it out.
Thanks, Chef John. One of my favorites on my birthday!
Looks great! could you please make a marchand de vin sauce for a dry aged bone in ribeye? thanks
why is his voice so soothing 😌😌
You made this a few years back with Valentine too if I remember correctly. Great choice!
chef john this looks gr8. I have a request for you. Do a beef rendang or some jollof rice recipe video pls. If you've already done them soz xxxxx
would this work with a silicon ramekin or should it absolutely be ceramic?
Can this be done with gluten free flour? I have coeliac's disease but really want to get baking.
Chef John, what's a good topping to this? I want to draw a heart on this.
Haven't even started the video and I just liked 😎👍I'm feeling right about it
could you possibly try making molasses cookies they are my parents fav and I would love to know how to make them
Would it be a good idea to have a pan of water in there. Kind of like a ban Marie
Is it possible to make this a day ahead and then bake it the next day?
Chef John I love your videos!! I could really use a video about what kitchen essentials you need (utensil/equipment wise). Please share your tips/expertise :) Much love from Tucson!
Love this video. Bet I like the soufflé even better.
Can it be any chocolate or does have to be dark chocolate?
Can i use milk or semi sweet chocolate instead of dark if that is all I have?
Dear chef John, can I make it in advance and put it in the fridge, so when I need it, I just put them in oven, or it will not work?
Nope. The air will go out of the balloon.
You are the best, man!
Yum... A chocolate Souffle that is bound to make her play... Yum Chef! :)
just WOW. dying to try that.
Thank you for all your videos.
El chocolate es malo para los granos ??
Hello Chef! Thank you for your wonderful recepies! I already made five or six and everyone was great. However this one wasn't so great.
can you use brown sugar instead of white?
when you don't need a notification to be early because you live on TH-cam :-p love this. going to try it
esmeevogels1990 Thats me 😅
How far on advance can I make this recipe? Can I also multiply it for a dinner party of 8-10?
just out of curiosity, how much cayenne do you go though in a week?
I like the idea of people being like "babe I made you something special this year" "you saw the video too huh?" 😂
What size containers do you use and where can I find them??
Lordy, this looks good!
Don't try this without practicing first, especially if cooking a whole meal.
Was that a little Jeff Smith reference re the roux?
Ermergerd!!!! This looks scrumptious, or as I tell my grandkids, yumba mumba!! I think you hit MY sweet spot with this recipe. :-)
You will not roux the day you make this souffle. No yolk, we'll maybe one, just for fun.
chef mike I love and hate you at the same time.
going to to make this for me and my right hand on Valentine's day
