Chocolate Banana Souffle
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or 2 teaspoons instant coffee
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 13 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 12 cup banana, mashed
- 14 cup light brown sugar
- 14 cup low-fat milk
- 5 large egg whites
- 18 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil six 6-ounce (3/4-cup) individual souffle dishes or ramekins or coat them with nonstick spray.
- Dust with sugar, turning to coat, and tapping out the excess.
- Set aside.
- Melt chocolate over barely simmering water or in the microwave.
- Dissolve espresso powder (or instant coffee) in vanilla in a small bowl.
- Sift cocoa, cornstarch and salt into a large bowl.
- Add banana, brown sugar and milk, whisking to blend.
- Add melted chocolate and the coffee mixture and blend well.
- Place egg whites in a clean, grease-free mixing bowl.
- Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until frothy.
- Add cream of tartar; increase the speed to medium and whip until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and beat on medium-high until the whites hold stiff, but not dry, peaks.
- Whisk one-fourth of the egg whites into chocolate mixture.
- Gently but quickly, fold in the remaining whites with a rubber spatula.
- Spoon into the prepared souffle dishes or ramekins.
- Bake until souffles are well puffed and browned, but still jiggle slightly when shaken, 15 to 25 minutes, or.
- Remove from the oven and sift a little confectioners' sugar over the top.
- Serve immediately.
