Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup chilled whipping cream
3 tablespoons amaretto
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
5 large egg whites
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons crushed amaretti cookies (Italian macaroons)*
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Butter six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes; dust with sugar. Place on baking sheet. Whisk 1/2 cup cream and 1 tablespoon amaretto in medium bowl to soft peaks. Refrigerate whipped cream.
  • Stir 1/2 cup cream and chocolate in medium bowl set over saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from over water. Whisk in yolks 1 at a time, blending well after each addition. Whisk in 2 tablespoons amaretto and both extracts. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into chocolate mixture in 2 additions. Spoon enough batter into each soufflé dish to fill dish halfway. Sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon amaretti cookies. Top with remaining soufflé batter. Sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon amaretti cookies.
  • Bake soufflés until puffed and set, about 13 minutes. Dust each with powdered sugar. Accompany soufflés with whipped cream. Serve immediately.

These were the best chocolate soufflés I've ever had. I will definitely be making them again.

These soufflés were delicious, but they were a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try making them with less butter next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soufflés didn't turn out like the pictures. They were still tasty, but not what I was expecting.

These soufflés were a disaster. They didn't rise at all and were very dense.

These soufflés were a hit at my dinner party! They were light and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of amaretto. My guests couldn't stop raving about them.
