Chocolate Raspberry Souffle image

Wonderful dessert, from Sara Moulten and Gourmet (seen on FoodTV a few years ago). It is somewhat labor intensive, but well worth it, I think.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
6 egg yolks
1.5 (10 ounce) packages frozen raspberries, thawed crushed & strained to make about 3/4 cup
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup sugar
9 egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups heavy cream, well chilled

Steps:

  • Fit the souffle dish, or dishes, with doubled bands of foil, brushed with vegetable oil. The foil should extend about 3 inches above the rim of the dish(es).
  • Using a double-boiler, or heat-safe bowl over saucepan with simmering water, melt both chocolates, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg YOLKS, until they are thick and pale.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry juice with 1 1/2 T of sugar. Bring to a simmer, then add to the egg yolks in a very slow stream, beating constantly. If you add too quickly, it will cook the yolks. Continue to beat mixture for 1 minute.
  • Add yolk/raspberry mixture to chocolate in the same manner as above.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg WHITES until frothy, then add the cream of tartar. Continue to beat until the whites hold soft peaks. Add the 1/3 cu sugar a little at a time and continue beating until whites have stiff, glossy peaks.
  • In a chilled bowl, beat the cream until is has stiff peaks.
  • Stir 1/4 of the whites mixture into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining whites. Just before they are fully incorporated, fold in the whipped cream.
  • Spoon mixture into the prepared souffle dish(es), cover loosely and chill for at least 3 hours or until set. Remove collar just before serving.
  • Can be made up to 1 day in advance.
