Chestnut-Armagnac Soufflé with Bittersweet Chocolate SauceKenji Toma

A big, beautiful soufflé with a festive chestnut flavor. You’ll need to bake the dessert right before serving, but you can make the soufflé base (minus the egg whites) two hours ahead, then fold in the whites up to one hour before baking.

Test-kitchen tip:

To serve the soufflé, use a very large spoon to gently scoop up some of the saucy interior along with a bit of the firmer sides.
