Never Fail Chocolate Souffle

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0 F. Liberally butter 6 individual souffle ramekins and sprinkle with sugar; set aside.

2. 2

   In a metal bowl over simmering water, melt chocolate whilst constantly stirring. Once the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the egg yolks one at a time.

3. 3

   In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat egg whites with salt on medium high speed until they hold soft glossy peaks. Continue beating egg whites on high speed, gradually adding the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, until the egg whites hold stiff glossy peaks.

4. 4

   Gently stir 1/3 of the eggs whites into the chocolate mixture. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites. The chocolate mixture should be full of bubbles, even colored and without egg white streaks.

5. 5

   Spoon your souffle mixture into the prepared ramekins and bake for 12 - 15 minutes until risen with a crusty exterior. Dust with cocoa powder and serve right away.
