Use this basic recipe to make any kind of soufflé. The recipe is simple – sauce and egg whites. You can use almost any fruit and end up with a dessert that will be the hit of your dinner party (or that weeknight treat).
Baking Chocolate
If chocolate liquor is not dried and ground into cocoa powder, it is refined further by replacing some of the cocoa butter with lecithin (and other ingredients depending on the manufacturer) to create a smooth velvety chocolate. This unsweetened chocolate is what we know as baker's chocolate. It is also called bitter chocolate and is the base for most of the chocolate sweets created today.
Some baker's chocolate has sugar added to it to make bittersweet chocolate. Most recipes will specify whether you should use unsweetened baker's chocolate or bittersweet baker's chocolate.
This recipe can easily be multiplied by 2, but care must be taken with whipping 6 egg whites. No leftovers.
You will need to make Chocolate Sauce first.
1/2 tsp
unsalted butter
1 tsp
granulated sugar
3 large
egg whites
1 ounce
bittersweet chocolate (grated)
1/4 cup
chocolate sauce
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Butter each soufflé dish with about 1/4 tsp. butter and add 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar to each dish tapping to coat the sides well. (The bottom need not be coated with sugar.)
In a copper bowl whisk the 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Add the grated chocolate and fold carefully until well blended.
Add 1/4 cup of the chocolate sauce to the whipped egg whites and fold carefully until well blended.
Spoon into the soufflé dishes and bake for 12 – 15 minutes.
Serve quickly with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar over the top of the soufflé.
