TnP’s Easy Peasy CHOCOLATE SOUFFLÉS

My husband is always “low-carbing” it - so when he craves a dessert - this is a quick one I can make before he changes his mind. It’s not my “ultimate” soufflé - but it is great for a dinner party and the batter can hang out in the refrigerator for many hours before cooking.

2-3 TBLS unsalted butter 

1/2 Cup Sugar + a little extra for inside the soufflé cups

4 ounces GOOD Milk chocolate

4 ounces GOOD Bitter sweet chocolate

12 egg whites

Powdered Sugar (For dusting)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Coat the interior of four 9-ounce soufflé dishes with melted butter

or one large 1-quart soufflé dish.*

*Depends on my mood - sometimes I like to have individual soufflé's and sometimes I”m like - “Why bother” just make one big one :)

Sprinkle each soufflé dish with sugar so that sugar sticks to all sides of the buttered dish.

Chop the chocolate and melt (Stirring constantly) over a double boiler. Once melted, lower heat to simmer.

Beat egg whites in a Large bowl until firm peaks form.

Add 1/2 cup sugar and blend.

Fold in warm chocolate until just blended.

The batter is yummy so try not to eat too much of it :)

Pour batter into the souffle cups.

Place souffle cups on a heavy baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

Serve immediately - sprinkle with powdered sugar and smash some whipped cream into the center.

*I've actually thought of making 3 different batters (milk, dark, bittersweet) and then layering the souffle' inside the cups but I haven't tried that yet...

Let me know if anyone does!!!
