Joël Robuchon's Swiss Meringue Trick That Makes a 3-Ingredient Soufflé Rise Higher Than Any Other

Chris Young breaks down Joël Robuchon's legendary chocolate soufflé — made with just egg whites, sugar, and dark chocolate. The secret is a Swiss meringue technique where egg whites are heated to 130°F before whipping, creating a more stable foam that supports an exceptional rise. Bonus: these soufflés can be baked straight from frozen.
