Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a ramekin by greasing it with a bit of melted butter and dusting it with sugar, tapping out any excess. This will help the soufflé rise smoothly and not stick to the sides.
2. 2.
   Melt the dark chocolate chips and melted butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy. Ensure the bowl does not touch the water to avoid overheating. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
3. 3.
   In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the almond flour until combined, then stir it into the melted chocolate mixture. The mixture should be smooth and thick. If it seizes, reheat gently over the simmering water.
4. 4.
   In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg white to soft peaks, adding a tablespoon of sugar midway through. The peaks should be firm but not dry, with a glossy texture. Gently fold a third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in the remaining whites. Use a spatula and a light touch to maintain volume.
5. 5.
   Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin, filling it almost to the top. Run your thumb around the inside edge of the ramekin to create an even rise. Bake on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes until risen and slightly set on top. Serve immediately for the best texture.
