Time P1DT45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, plus additional for dusting molds
1/2 cup cocoa
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1/3 cup half-and-half
8 egg whites

Steps:

  • Wipe the interiors of six 1-cup souffle molds with softened butter. Dust bottoms and sides of molds with sugar. Refrigerate until needed.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cocoa and chocolate. In a small pan, combine half-and-half with 1/2 cup water, and bring to a boil. Pour into bowl of chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a small pan, combine the sugar with 3 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil, and heat to the soft-ball stage, or 250 degrees on a candy thermometer. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk, whip egg whites until fluffy. Slowly add hot sugar to the egg whites, pouring it down the side of the bowl as the whites whip. Whisk egg whites to soft peaks; do not overbeat.
  • Add warm chocolate mixture to beaten egg whites. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in until thoroughly combined. Spoon or pipe into souffle molds. Refrigerate, uncovered, up to 24 hours ahead of serving.
  • To serve, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Allow souffles to come to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Place on a baking sheet, and bake until risen and just slightly wobbly when shaken, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

This souffle was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I might have used too many egg yolks.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my souffle didn't turn out at all. It was flat and dense.

This souffle was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This souffle was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This chocolate souffle was a delight! It rose beautifully in the oven and had a perfectly tender and fluffy texture. The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the souffle held its shape well after it was removed from the oven.
