12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
15 ounces Hi Quality Bitter- Or Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Chopped
¾ cup Butter
6 Eggs
1¾ cup Granulated Sugar; Divided

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter (or spray with nonstick vegetable spray) 12 4-ounce souffle cups. Melt chocolate and butter in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water. Separate eggs into 2 bowls. Whisk the yolks with ¾ cup sugar until pale yellow and sugar is dissolved. Whisk egg whites with ½ cup sugar until soft peaks form. Add remaining ½ cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Gently stir egg yolk mixture into chocolate mixture. Fold chocolate mixture into egg whites in 3 or 4 batches. Pour into souffle cups and bake for 12 - 14 minutes, or until puffed and dry on top. Serve immediately.

NOTES : These souffles can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking at the last minute.
