Chocolate Souffle

Ingredients

  • 2 tbs butter
  • 3 tbs flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
  • 4 egg yolks, beaten
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Butter the sides of a souffle dish. For a collar on the souffle dish, measure enough foil to wrap around the top of the dish and add 3 inches. Fold the foil into thirds lengthwise. Lightly grease one side with butter; sprinkle with sugar. Place foil, sugar side in, around the outside of the dish so that the foil extends about two inches above the dish. Tape ends of the foil together. Sprinkle inside of dish with sugar; set dish aside.

  2. In a small saucepan melt the 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour; add milk all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add chocolate; stir until melted. Remove from heat. Gradually stir chocolate mixture into beaten egg yolks. Set aside.

  3. Beat egg whites and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 cup of the beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture. Fold chocolate egg whites mixture into remaining beaten egg whites. Transfer to prepared dish.

  4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve souffle immediately. To serve, insert two forks back to back; gently pull souffle apart into six equal size wedges. Use a spoon to transfer to plates. If desired, top with whipped cream.
