Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup hot brewed espresso
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup less 2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 egg yolks
4 egg whites, at room temperature
Confectioners' sugar for garnish
Finely ground coffee for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix the espresso with the ground cardamom and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. When the sugar has dissolved, strain the mixture through a fine seive and set it aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush four 8-ounce ceramic ramekins with half the melted butter and dust them with 2 tablespoons of the sugar.
  • Beat the egg yolks with 1/3 cup of the sugar in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until they lighten and thicken. Remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl and continue beating until cooled to room temperature, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Beat the remaining melted butter into the espresso mixture. Divide this mixture among the 4 ramekins.
  • Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff but not dry. Fold this mixture into the egg yolk mixture and divide it among the 4 ramekins.
  • Place the souffles in the oven and bake 6 minutes, until the tops are golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven, dust with confectioners' sugar and coffee, and serve.
