Hot Chocolate Souffles Recipe - Cooking Index
| 9 oz | 255g | Semisweet chocolate - chopped |
| 4 oz | 113g | Egg yolks (large) |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Dark rum |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Unsalted butter - melted |
| 6 tablespoons | 90ml | Egg whites (large) |
| 1 | Cream of tartar |
In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring, until it is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat, add the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking well after each addition, and whisk in the rum and butter. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until they hold stiff peaks. Stir a quarter of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture then fold in the remaining egg whites gently but thoroughly. Spoon the mixture into 6 buttered 2/3 cup soufflee dishes and bake them on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400f oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffed and a tester comes out nearly clean.
