If you’ve ever believed that keto desserts can’t be dramatic, elegant, and restaurant-worthy… this recipe will change your mind forever.

This Keto Chocolate Soufflé is:

• Rich and deeply chocolatey
• Light and airy on top
• Gooey and molten in the center
• Sugar-free
• Gluten-free
• Low carb
• Elegant enough for dinner parties

And the best part?

It tastes indulgent. Not “diet.”

This is the dessert you make when you want to impress someone — or yourself.

Why This Keto Chocolate Soufflé Is So Special

Traditional soufflés are made with sugar, flour, and high-carb chocolate.

This version keeps all the luxury… without the carbs.

We swap:

• Sugar → Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• Flour → Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Regular chocolate → Sugar-free dark chocolate

The result?

A beautifully risen, airy chocolate soufflé with under 4 net carbs per serving.

And that molten center? Still there.

Step-by-Step Instructions

PIN IT

Step 1: Prepare the Ramekins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Butter the ramekins thoroughly, brushing upward.

Dust with powdered sweetener.

This helps the soufflé climb beautifully.

Step 2: Melt Chocolate & Butter

In a heatproof bowl, melt:

• Sugar-free chocolate
• Butter

Microwave in 20-second bursts or use a double boiler.

Stir until smooth and glossy.

Let cool slightly.

Step 3: Add Egg Yolks

Whisk egg yolks into chocolate mixture.

Add:

• Cocoa powder
• Vanilla
• Salt

Mix until thick and silky.

Step 4: Whip Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar.

Beat until soft peaks form.

Gradually add powdered sweetener.

Continue beating until stiff peaks form.

This is what gives the soufflé height.

Step 5: Fold Carefully

Add ⅓ of egg whites to chocolate mixture and fold gently.

Then fold in remaining whites.

Do not overmix — keep the air intact.

Step 6: Fill Ramekins

Divide batter evenly.

Smooth tops lightly.

Run thumb around edge to help even rise.

Step 7: Bake

Bake 12–15 minutes.

Edges should be set.

Center should still jiggle slightly for molten effect.

Step 8: Serve Immediately

Dust with powdered sweetener.

Serve warm.

Cut into the center and watch that chocolate lava flow.

Pure magic.
