J.K.'S Chocolate Souffles with Chocolate Grand Marnier Sauce
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar plus 3 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 4 large egg whites
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- 3/4 cup Chocolate Grand Marnier Sauce, recipe follows
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a small pastry brush, grease 5 (1/2-cup) individual ramekins with the softened butter, and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon sugar into each ramekin.
- Roll the sugar around the sides and bottom of each ramekin to coat completely, shaking out any excess sugar.
- In a large metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring it with a whisk from time to time.
- Remove the melted chocolate from the heat.
- In another bowl beat the egg whites with 1/4 cup of the sugar until stiff and glossy.
- Whisk the egg yolks into the melted chocolate 1 at a time, add the Grand Marnier, and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Fold in the egg whites until thoroughly blended.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling each ramekin almost to the top with the batter.
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until they're puffed and somewhat firm, about 18 to 22 minutes.
- To serve, place a ramekin on each of 5 plates and sift confectioners' sugar over the top of each souffle.
- Break the top of each souffle, and spoon in the warm Chocolate Grand Marnier Sauce, allowing it to drip over the sides.
- Serve immediately.
