Cook Time:
15 minutes
Servings:
4 soufflés
Ingredients
  • :::For the Chocolate Soufflés:½ tablespoon unsalted butter, softened:::
  • ¼ cup sugar, divided
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60 percent), cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 4 egg whites
  • Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
  • :::For the Orange Sauce:½ cup sour cream:::
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
Directions
  1. Make the soufflés: Preheat the oven to 400º. Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with the butter and coat with 2 tablespoons of the sugar, rotating to coat the entire ramekin. In a double boiler, add the chocolate and cream, and heat until completely melted, stirring until smooth.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the egg whites and beat until soft peaks have formed. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and whisk until stiff peaks have formed. Working in 3 batches, carefully fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites using a rubber spatula.
  3. Divide the soufflé among the prepared ramekins. Place the soufflés on a baking sheet and bake until set in the center, 13 to 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, make the orange sauce: In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients until smooth.
  5. Remove the soufflés from the oven. Dust with confectioners' sugar and spoon over the orange sauce, then serve warm.
