Double-Chocolate Souffles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus more for dusting
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70 percent), finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 large eggs, separated
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Grease eight 10-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with sugar, tapping out the excess; set on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate with the 2 tablespoons of butter and the kosher salt, stirring a few times.
- In another medium saucepan, bring the milk just to a simmer over moderate heat.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder, then whisk in the melted chocolate.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks.
- Gradually whisk in the chocolate mixture until smooth.
- In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites at high speed until medium peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually beat in the 1/2 cup of sugar and continue beating until the whites form stiff peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
- Spoon the souffle into the prepared ramekins and bake in the center of the oven until risen, about 15 minutes.
- Serve right away.
