Ingredients
3Tablespoonsbutter(plus more for greasing cups)
6Tablespoonsgranulated sugar(plus more for dusting cups)
1cupmilk
3Tablespoonsall-purpose flour
3Tablespoonsdutch processed cocoa powder(unsweetened will work)
Pinch salt
2ouncessemisweet chocolate(melted)
4eggs(separated)
For serving: vanilla gelato or ice cream, hot fudge and/or vanilla sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter six 4-ounce souffle cups and coat with sugar. Set aside.
In a small sauce pan, bring the milk to a light simmer over medium heat. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt and cocoa until smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook 1 minute.
Slowly add the hot milk, whisking until smooth. Then whisk in the melted chocolate. Let cool for 5 minutes and then stir in the egg yolks.
While the chocolate cools, beat the egg whites in a bowl. Slowly add the sugar, 1 Tablespoon at a time. Beat until a glossy peak forms (about 4-5 minutes). Whisk a large spoonful into the chocolate mixture and then fold the remaining egg whites in (stir just until combined).
Pour the batter into prepared cups. Place in a 9x13" dish and then add hot water until it covers half the cup. Bake for 20 minutes.
Serve immediately hot out of the oven with a scoop of gelato or vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and/or vanilla sauce.
