Ingredients
- 5 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- 3 large egg whites
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Butter two large soufflé dishes. (I used small copper pots) Melt chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until smooth. Transfer to large bowl and let it cool.
- Using electric mixer, beat egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar; beat until stiff but not dry
- Whisk yolks, flour and vanilla into melted chocolate mixture. Fold in 1/3 of egg whites to lighten. Fold in remaining whites.
- Divide soufflé mixture evenly among soufflé dishes. Transfer to baking sheet. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
- Bake soufflés until edges are set and a toothpick in the center comes out with wet batter attached, about 15 minutes if baked immediately or 20 minutes if refrigerated overnight.
