200 grams Egg whites
70 grams Granulated sugar
50 grams Egg yolks
Yield
4-5 ramequins
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Lightly butter baking dish with a brush. Coat with sugar, tapping out excess. Set dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
Place your chocolate on a stainless bowl over a water bath method.
Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and add butter.
Let it cool for about 5 minutes, the mixture should not be too hot for the next step
Stir egg yolks into cooled chocolate mixture until well combined. Set souffle base aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium-high with a 1/4 of the sugar until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the rest of sugar in 2 times and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes (do not overbeat).
In 3 additions, fold egg white mixture into souffle base using a rubber spatula, gently cut down through center and lift up some base from bottom of bowl. Turning bowl, steadily continue to cut down and lift up base until just combined.
Transfer batter to a piping bag and fill up ramequins on top edge, smooth top. Clean up the extra mixture with finger on the edge of the dish.
Bake souffle until puffed and set, 14 to 16 minutes. (Do not open oven during first 14 minutes of baking.) Serve immediately.
