To make Gordon Ramsay’s chocolate souffle, you need to preheat the oven to 200°C and grease four ramekins with soft butter. Melt the chocolate and butter over a saucepan of simmering water. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornflour. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture. In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then fold into the chocolate mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins and run a fingertip around the inside edges to help the soufflés rise. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until risen but still with a slight wobble in the center. Serve immediately with a dusting of icing sugar, if desired.
