\"\"<\/a>1 C. chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (6 oz.)
\n2 T. milk or whipping cream
\n4 large eggs, separated
\n6 T. granulated sugar
\n1 tsp. vanilla
\nPowdered sugar
\nSweetened whipped cream<\/p>\n

Lightly butter four ramekins (2\/3-C. size, deep or shallow). Set ramekins in a shallow, 10- by 15-inch baking pan. Combine chocolate and milk in a microwave-safe bowl; heat at full power (100%) in a microwave oven at 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is melted and smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute total. Let stand. In a large bowl, with a mixer at high speed, whip egg whites until they form a dense foam, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle in C. of the sugar and beat until whites hold short, distinct peaks, 1 to 4 minutes. Scrape into another bowl. In mixer bowl, whip egg yolks at high speed until they begin to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 T. sugar and continue beating until yolks are very thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Add melted chocolate and beat until well blended. Add about a third of the egg whites to egg yolk and chocolate mixture and beat slowly to mix well. Fold in remaining whites until fairly well incorporated. Scoop souffl\u00e9 mixture equally into ramekins; mixture can mound above rims but make sure it’s not dripping over edges. Bake in a 375\u00c2\u00b0 oven until souffl\u00e9 are puffy and dry on the surface, about 8 minutes for very soft centers, 10 minutes for creamy centers, and 12 minutes for firm centers. Transfer ramekins to plates and rub powdered sugar through a fine sieve onto souffl\u00e9s. Offer whipped cream to top souffl\u00e9s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
