Then as I was cleaning up the dishes, pleased with myself that the souffles were in the oven and baking, I realized that my egg yolks were still sitting in the bowl on the counter, I completely forgot to whisk them in!
UGH
Oh well. Poop.
So yeah. The title of this post says "Yolkless Chocolate Souffle", but they aren't supposed to be yolkless as you may have guessed.
I decided to just go ahead and leave them in the oven just for fun LMAO! I figured I would be taking pictures of some rock hard crusties in ramekins, then I would Photoshop on a big fat FAIL across the front.
Well, they were actually pretty darn good! They cracked a lot, but I was surprised at how much they actually rose. My oldest son and youngest son only ate half, said it was too rich. Middle son liked it and ate the whole thing. I ate mine with a little vanilla ice cream and a touch of chocolate syrup. Mmmmm. My daughter will be home soon and I'll have her try them, but I'm just pleased that they didn't end up being Insinkerator food!
Someday I will make them again as I'm sure they are fabulous done properly LOL

Wow, I wouldn't have known if you included the eggs or not, these look AWESOME!
They definitely are professional!
Those look great Amanda. If you hadn't told us you'd forgotten the yolks we'd never have known! I loved this recipe too!
You've discovered "nearly" fat-free souffles! Market that! They look absolutely perfect... and no yolks, go figure! Glad everyone "nearly everyone" enjoyed them - and not the insinkerator!
Oh wow...looks so soft and yum...
These look amazing Amanda - they rose so high!!! Maybe we should have all left out the yolks.
Thanks guys!
LOL Mike
Amanda,
You are cute. Sometimes I forget whether I have added the salt or the leavening ingredients, and I find myself standing in front of the bowl, talking to myself. Ever do that? he he They were good, I agree. Pretty simple to make as well. Thanks for stopping by.
AmyRuth
Talk to myself? Me?
Um, YEAH! All the time LMAO
Well they look perfect! Don't you just hate that when that happens though but sometimes you make something even better in the end! :)
Wow, looks like they turned out great and lower in fat and cholesterol! I might just try that, accidentally of course! ;)
Isn't that amazing how they turned out perfectly!! Sometimes just when you think you messed up, you realized that you actually succeeded!!! great job!!!!!!
LOL...makes you wonder just how important each ingredient is after all...next time you don't have an ingredient, is it really that important enough to run to the store??? LOL. They look fabulous and sounds as if they tasted fine as well. You may be onto something.
I have had a souffle dish for years and have never used it yet....lol!!
Your little souffles look really good...amazing!
Enjoy!
Wow, your sons thought it was too rich without the yolks? Wonder how they would feel if the yolks were included! I've only made souffles twice, one chocolate, one banana. The banana actually didn't have yolks either, come to think of it...they look gorgeous, yolkless or not!
I now make my dessert souffles without yolks on a regular basis, I like the taste better and they are lighter and healthier of course!
I have done this before too forgetting the eggs...they look so good though!
They do look absolutely stunning! Nice to know that this mistake worked in your favor! Great pictures, too.
They look perfect !!! I bet they were delicious !!
oops! they do good, though!
Yolk-less Chocolate Souffles sure do rise high and stay that way! They look fantastic! What a pleasant mistake to make! =)
They look beautiful, I never would have known they were yolkless! It is amazing how easy a souffle is, seeing as it has such a reputation for being troublesome... This was a great recipe, I'll be making them again, too.
I love that even though souffle is such a quintessentially complex recipe, it seems to work out just fine if you make mistakes! I had the same experience.
Haha that is totally something I would do. Sounds like they still turned out great though!
WOWZA!! Amanda!! Those look incredible.
AND lower in cholesterol w/out yolks. And since it worked......
You've made it a light souffle! They look delicious.
They look great! I'd never have guessed you'd left anything out. (And I've certainly had my share of discovering left out ingredients after the main part is in the oven!)
Awesome job!
They look great Amanda! This just sounds like something that I could easily do - forget to put in an ingredient!!! Done it many times!
They looks delicious and they turned out lovely! I make mine without the yolks, too!
You know it was "healthier" for you without the yokes.
Yours also poofed up more than a lot of the other ones I saw. The yokes way down the batter more.

Amanda,
Thanks for stopping by and saying hi! I think your souffles turned out wonderful, even without the yolks!
Wow! I'm glad to know they worked out without yolks. You made a healthier version accidently. How cool!
