Claire Saffitz Is Back And Talking Chocolate Soufflé

Beloved dessert authority, recipe developer, and YouTube star Claire Saffitz is back on She’s My Cherry Pie! In this episode, Claire joins host Jessie Sheehan to tackle a baked good that has long delighted eaters and intimidated home cooks: chocolate soufflé. Claire says there’s a lot of fear-mongering around the dessert, but when you break it down into straightforward steps and reduce the batch size, it’s an attainable bake for anyone. 

Tune in for Claire’s tips for super stable soufflés and her explanation of why coating the inside of your ramekins with sugar ensures your dessert will rise (and stay) high. The duo also chat about Claire’s approach to writing recipes, what being a YouTuber means to her today, her New York Times-bestselling cookbook “What’s For Dessert,” and more. 

Want to bake along? Here is Claire’s recipe for Chocolate Soufflé. ​
