Time 32m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch Process cocoa powder
3/4 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 (1/2-ounce) pieces dark chocolate
2 to 3 teaspoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Position oven rack in the bottom 1/3 of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Spray the inside of 6 (10 ounces) ramekins, or oven-proof baking cups, with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle with a little sugar to coat evenly.
  • In a large bowl, place chopped chocolate, cocoa, and 3/4 cup of the sugar.
  • Whisk in boiling water. When chocolate is completely melted, whisk in egg yolks and vanilla. Then stir in the flour. Set aside.
  • Combine egg whites with cream of tartar in a medium mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat on high speed until stiff but not dry.
  • Fold about 1/3 of the chocolate mixture into the egg whites. Fold in the remaining chocolate mixture in 2 additions. Divide batter into prepared ramekins.
  • Drop one 1/2 ounce of dark chocolate into the center of each souffle just before baking.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the top has formed a nice crust and the sides appear cake-like. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Dig in immediately!

I'm not a big fan of chocolate soufflés, but I thought these were pretty good. They were light and fluffy, and the chocolate flavor was just right.

These soufflés were a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if there was more chocolate flavor.

These soufflés were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would have liked them better if they were lighter and airier.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soufflés didn't rise. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These soufflés were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

This was my first time making chocolate soufflés, and they turned out amazing! They were light and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor. I served them with fresh berries and whipped cream, and they were a hit with my dinner guests.
