Chocolate Souffle Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons sugar, granulated – divided
• 2 ½ ounces chocolate, bitter or semi-sweet – chopped
• 1 large egg(s)
• 2 large egg white(s)
• 1 tablespoon cream, heavy
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 tsp. white flour
• Sugar, powdered – as garnish, optional

DIRECTIONS:

1. Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Lightly coat two 10-ounce ramekins with cooking spray; coat the insides of each with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar.

2. Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Whisk egg yolk and cream in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk in the chocolate until smooth, then whisk in flour and cinnamon until incorporated.

4. Beat egg whites and salt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in four additions, until stiff, glossy peaks form.

5. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold half the beaten whites into the chocolate mixture until fairly smooth; then gently fold this combined mixture back into the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain.

6. Divide between the prepared ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Bake until puffed and firm to the touch, 18 to 22 minutes. Dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired. Serve immediately.
