Servings: 2 | Serving size: 1 souffle

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied by 2, but care must be taken with whipping 6 egg whites. No leftovers. You will need to make Chocolate Sauce first.

• 1/2 tsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 3 large egg whites
• 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate (grated)
• 1/4 cup chocolate sauce

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Butter each soufflé dish with about 1/4 tsp. butter and add 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar to each dish tapping to coat the sides well. (The bottom need not be coated with sugar.)

In a copper bowl whisk the 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Add the grated chocolate and fold carefully until well blended.

Add 1/4 cup of the chocolate sauce to the whipped egg whites and fold carefully until well blended.

Spoon into the soufflé dishes and bake for 12 - 15 minutes.

Serve quickly with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar over the top of the soufflé.
