Disney releases recipe for Palo Chocolate Soufflé

Disney has been sharing many recipes from various theme parks and resort restaurants, but now they have released a dessert found aboard the Disney Cruise Line.

The Italian-inspired  Palo restaurant  aboard each  Disney ship offers a superlative dining experience reserved exclusively for adults. Guests are invited to indulge in a menu of modern Italian cuisine, coupled with a sophisticated atmosphere. While Palo may be reserved for adults, here is a way to bring a taste of this experience to home with its chocolate soufflé.

Palo Chocolate Soufflé 

Serves 6 

Ingredients 

  • 3 tablespoons butter, plus more for greasing the soufflé cups 
  • 6 tablespoons sugar, plus more for dusting the soufflé cups 
  • 1 cup milk 
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
  • 3 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa 
  • 2 ounces (2/3 cup) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted 
  • 4 eggs, separated 
  • Vanilla Sauce (recipe follows) 

Directions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  2. Set a full kettle of water on to boil. 
  3. Butter six 4-ounce soufflé cups and coat with sugar; set aside. 
  4. Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cocoa to the butter and beat with a whisk to a smooth, paste-like consistency. Reduce heat and cook for 1 minute. 
  5. Slowly add the hot milk, whisking until smooth, then blend in melted chocolate. Let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in egg yolks. 
  6. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until frothy. Slowly add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff, glossy peaks form. Stir a heaping spoonful of egg whites into the chocolate, then fold in the remaining whites just until combined. 
  7. Pour the batter into prepared soufflé cups. Place cups in a large baking dish and add enough boiling water to reach halfway the sides of the soufflé cups. 
  8. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve immediately, with warm vanilla sauce. 

Vanilla Sauce 

Ingredients 

  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream 
  • 1/4 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 
  • 3 tablespoons sugar 
  • 2 small egg yolks 

Directions 

  1. Bring cream and vanilla bean to a low boil in a saucepan over medium heat. 
  2. Combine sugar and egg yolks. 
  3. Add 2 spoonfuls of boiling cream to egg mixture and stir well, then pour back into the remaining cream and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes.
