Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 5 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (65-72%)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs, separated and at room temperature

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375°f.
• 2 lightly butter 4 6-oz. ramekins and coat with sugar (pour 1 tbsp into one of the ramekins, swirl to coat, pour into the next and repeat).
• 3 melt the chocolate in a large mixing bowl and whisk together with sugar, kahlua (other liqueur or cream) and vanilla extract. mixture will be thick and pasty. beat in the egg yolks one at a time, followed by the flour.
• 4 in a medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites to soft peaks. whisk 1/3 of beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. fold in remaining egg whites in two additions, folding until mixture is uniform and no streaks of egg whites remain.
• 5 divide evenly into prepared ramekins and wipe edges to ensure they are clean. this helps the souffles get an even rise. place ramekins on a baking sheet.
• 6 bake for about 15 minutes, until souffles are well-risen and set at the edges (center may appear wet, but should still be set).
• 7 serve immediately.
