Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 cup atural unsweetened cocoa powder (spooned into cup to measure, then leveled)
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), finely chopped
Orange Blossom Cream
Special Equipment
8 2/3-to 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups

Steps:

  • Butter eight 2/3-to 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups; dust with sugar, completely coating to top edge. Whisk 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and 1/8 teaspoon (scant) salt in small saucepan. Pour 2/3 cup milk into measuring cup; whisk enough milk from cup into saucepan to form thick paste (2 to 3 tablespoons), then gradually whisk in remaining milk from cup. Stir over medium- low heat until bubbles begin to form around edges of pan. Continue cooking until slightly thickened, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Add cocoa powder, remaining 2 tablespoons milk, egg yolks, and vanilla; stir until smooth, thick paste forms. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, beating on high speed until firm peaks form. Add 1⁄4 of whites to chocolate mixture; fold to blend. Add remaining beaten egg whites and chopped chocolate and fold until whites are just blended into batter.
  • Divide batter among prepared ramekins; place on rimmed baking sheet. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
  • Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Bake soufflés until puffed above rim of ramekin and toothpick inserted into center comes out with thick batter attached, about 12 minutes (15 minutes for chilled soufflés). Using spoon, form small indentation in top of each soufflé; spoon dollop of Orange Blossom Cream into indentations. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
3/4 teaspoon orange-flower water
Ingredient info: Orange-flower water can be found in the liquor aisle or baking section of some supermarkets and at liquor stores and Middle Eastern markets.

Steps:

  • Using electric mixer, beat all ingredients in medium bowl until peaks form. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: For the best flavor, use organic Valencia oranges, as they have a sweeter and more floral flavor than other varieties.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will release the essential oils from the peel, which will give the cream a more intense orange flavor.
  • Use fresh cream: Fresh cream will give the cream a richer and more luxurious texture than store-bought whipped cream.
  • Chill the cream and beaters before whipping: This will help the cream whip up faster and more easily.
  • Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks: This will ensure that the cream holds its shape when it is served.
  • Flavor the cream with orange blossom water: Orange blossom water is a concentrated extract of orange blossoms, and it has a sweet, floral flavor that is perfect for this cream.

Conclusion:

Orange blossom cream is a delicious and versatile dessert topping that can be used on a variety of dishes, from cakes and pies to ice cream and fruit salads. It is also a great way to use up leftover orange zest and juice. With its light and fluffy texture and sweet, floral flavor, orange blossom cream is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
