Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Butter for greasing
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
5 eggs at room temperature, separated
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Butter a one-quart souffle dish or four eight-ounce souffle dishes.
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add the sugar and vanilla. Allow the mixture to cool.
  • Whisk the egg yolks until they are pale yellow. Gradually stir them into the warm (but not hot) chocolate. The recipe can be prepared ahead to this point.
  • Beat the egg whites until they stand up in glossy peaks. Stir one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then gradually fold in the rest.
  • Bake souffle in center of oven for about 25 minutes for a large souffle, about 10 minutes for smaller ones. Remove from oven, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve. Pass whipped cream separately.
