Learn the recipe for Palo’s chocolate soufflé on Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line is known for its outstanding service, great entertainment and delicious dining. Palo, the adults-only restaurant that’s available for an extra charge on each ship, is home to arguably the best dessert on Disney Cruise Line – the chocolate soufflé.

Can you really go to Palo without ordering the chocolate soufflé? Probably not, but now you can try to recapture some of the Disney Cruise Line magic in your own kitchen.

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.
