Frozen Chocolate Souffles with Warm Berry Compote
- 1 1/2 pounds imported semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 1/3 cup raspberry liqueur
- 4 large eggs
- 8 large egg yolks
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- Warm Raspberry Compote
- Put ten 2 1/2-inch ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Cut 10 six-inch-long sheets of foil and fold each sheet so it is 3 inches wide.
- Wrap the foil collars around the ramekins with 1 edge flush with the baking sheet; tape the foil collars to secure them.
- The collars should extend 2 to 2 1/2 inches beyond the ramekins.
- Freeze the ramekins on the baking sheet.
- Put the chocolate in a large stainless steel bowl.
- Bring 1 1/4 cups of the heavy cream to a boil and pour it over the chocolate; stir until melted.
- Stir in the raspberry liqueur and let cool.
- Meanwhile, in another stainless steel bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar and vanilla.
- Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and beat the mixture at medium speed until thick and hot to the touch, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and beat the mixture until cooled.
- Beat the remaining 2 3/4 cups of heavy cream until it holds soft peaks.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the cooled egg mixture into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
- Spoon the mousse into the chilled ramekins and tap them gently to release any air bubbles.
- Freeze the souffles until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Remove the foil collars.
- Dust the souffles with confectioners' sugar and set the ramekins on oval plates.
- Serve the Warm Raspberry Compote on the side.
