Best Easy Chocolate Soufflé Mark Bittman Recipes
CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé
Some of the most experienced home cooks are afraid of soufflés. They'll never rise, they'll immediately fall, they're difficult to make, they're temperamental. Yet people do want to make soufflés - or want them made for them. Hence this recipe, which is not only not scary, it's also easy. It can be made ahead of time, it's rich and light, it will dazzle your significant other (or anyone else), and it requires no more effort than it takes to beat a few eggs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 2-cup or one 4-cup soufflé or other deep baking dish(es). Sprinkle each with sugar, invert it and tap to remove excess sugar.
- Beat egg yolks with all but 1 tablespoon sugar until very light and very thick; mixture will fall in a ribbon from beaters when it is ready. Mix in the melted chocolate until well combined; set aside.
- Wash beaters well, then beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until whites hold soft peaks; continue to beat, gradually adding remaining tablespoon sugar, until they are very stiff and glossy. Stir a good spoonful of whites thoroughly into egg yolk mixture to lighten it; then fold in remaining whites, using a rubber spatula. Transfer to prepared soufflé dish(es); at this point you can cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake.
- Bake until center is nearly set, 20 minutes for individual soufflés and 25 to 35 minutes for a single large soufflé. Serve immediately.

EASY CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé
At first I was worried this would not turn out well so I had a back up dessert in case. However, it was amazing. We ate it without any condiments, but would go awesome with ice cream or whipped cream. Also, do not confuse this with a molten lava cake. You will also need a ceramic soufflé dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Measure out sugar, separate eggs and measure and chop chocolate.
- Butter soufflé dishes entirely and then add sugar (additional) coating the entire dish.
- Melt chocolate - you can either use a microwave, 20 seconds then stir and continue till done, or you can use the metal bowl method.
- Add yolks to chocolate (this will harden the chocolate so don't be alarmed).
- Use a beater on whites with a pinch of salt and adding sugar, a little at a time. Beat until whites hold med-stiff peaks.
- Fold white mixture into chocolate little by little (be gentle and it is okay if some chunks are left, but make it as smooth as possible).
- Pour into soufflé dishes and run the end of your thumb around inside to remove any extra batter.
- Bake until puffed and crusted on top but still jiggly in center, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
