Chocolate Soufflé
I purchased some new ramekins a month ago and finally decided to put them to use.
Here is one of the results:
3 Small Eggs
1 Large Egg
1/8C Brandy
¼Tsp Lemon Essence
½C Sugar
3tsp Butter (room temperature)
3Tbs Cocoa Powder
3Tbs Oil
3Tbs Sugar
3Tbs Water
Preheat a casserole dish (with 2″ of water) in oven to 400°F, butter ramekins and add 1tsp sugar to each and roll the sugar around to coat the inside. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Mix half of the sugar into the yolks and beat till smooth. In another bowl mix the cocoa, 3Tbs sugar and 3Tbs Oil together and beat till smooth. Combine the yolks & sugar with a ½ cocoa mixture. Add the egg whites to the mixture and beat till smooth. Add the remaining ingredients together and beat till smooth. Fill each ramekin about 3/4 full and place in the oven and bake for around 30 minutes.
When finished drizzle some of the cocoa mixture over the tops of the soufflés, dust with powdered sugar.
You can jazz this up a bit by placing strawberry sections on top as well.
