Preparation Steps
1
Prepare all the ingredients. Measure out the lavender and break the chocolate into smaller pieces.
2
Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in a clean bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and lavender.
3
Pour the milk and butter into a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Do not let the mixture boil; warm it gently.
4
Place the chocolate and butter in a small bowl and melt over a double boiler (bain-marie). Once the chocolate has melted, pour it into the egg yolk mixture and mix well.
5
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture.
6
Sift the flour and gradually add it to the chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined.
7
Butter a soufflé dish and pour in the chocolate mixture.
8
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the soufflé has risen nicely and is golden brown.
9
Once baked, let it cool slightly before serving warm. If desired, sprinkle a little extra dried lavender on top.
