ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, for sprinkling
- 5 ounces quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped finely
- 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
- 6 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1⁄16 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
directions
- Preheat oven to 375º F. Liberally butter 6 individual soufflé ramekins and sprinkle with sugar; set aside.
- In a metal bowl over simmering water, melt chocolate whilst constantly stirring. Once the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the egg yolks one at a time.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat egg whites with salt on medium high speed until they hold soft glossy peaks. Continue beating egg whites on high speed, gradually adding the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, until the egg whites hold stiff glossy peaks.
- Gently stir 1/3 of the eggs whites into the chocolate mixture. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites. The chocolate mixture should be full of bubbles, even colored and without egg white streaks.
- Spoon your soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins and bake for 12 – 15 minutes until risen with a crusty exterior. Dust with cocoa powder and serve right away.
