Chocolate Soufflé Recipe
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1-1/2 cups milk
12 oz. bittersweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup brewed strong coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup granulated sugar
5 egg yolks
7 egg whites
powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375F.
Butter a 2-1/2 quart soufflé or baking dish.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, whisk in flour and milk and cook until it thickens.
Stir in chocolate and stir constantly until melted.
Remove from heat; add coffee, vanilla, and half the sugar.
One at a time, add the egg yolks while whisking constantly; set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks and gradually beat in the remaining sugar and continue to whisk until the peaks stiffen.
Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture then pour into the prepared dish.
Bake 35 - 40 minutes until the soufflé rises 2 inches above soufflé dish.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
At Eat My Cake Now - here is a recipe for a Chili & Spice Chocolate Souffle. I bet that is one tasty souffle!
From Merlin Menu - try these Chocolate Souffle Cookies. This is an interesting twist on souffle.
On Zen Can Cook - here is a recipe for the Perfect Chocolate Souffle. It goes in to a lot of details to help make the perfect souffle. Beautiful.
I know I want to make the cookies. They are going on my One 2 Try list.
Enjoy your day!

I've never had balls enough to try to make a souffle. Maybe I'll have to give it a go.

I've only made small ramekin Choc. Souffles. They turned out great. Somehow the small ones felt less intimidating. Have you noticed all of the bacon and chocolate recipes of late? Even chocolate bars with bacon. It's like the choc/salt/carmel craze. Yum...Holly

I've never had a Chocolate Souffle. I feel like I'm missing out :(

I knew a British woman once who lived in New Delhi. She tried out cooks by asking them to cook a souffle. It wasn't as silly as it sounded. If you can't cook a souffle, you can't cook ... but an Indian cook, in India? Well, in her house I tasted the best carrot and ginger souffle of my life! Happy chocolate overload!
