Warm Milk Chocolate Souffles With Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe - Cooking Index
Jacqueline Willis of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, writes: "Recently I had a superb chocolate souffle at the Ercole Ristorante Italiano in Calgary. It was made with milk chocolate -- a subtle but delicious variation. I would love to be able to re-create it for friends at home. "
Courses: Dessert14 oz | 397g | Good-quality milk chocolate - chopped |
= (such as Lindt or Ghirardelli) | ||
3/4 cup | 148g / 5.2oz | Chilled unsalted butter - (1 1/2 sticks) - cut small cubes |
6 cups | 1188g / 41oz | Egg yolks (large) |
2 cups | 396g / 13oz | Eggs (large) |
1/3 cup | 65g / 2.3oz | Sugar |

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter eight 3/4-cup souffle dishes. Coat souffle dishes with sugar. Arrange souffle dishes on heavy large baking sheet.
Stir milk chocolate and butter in medium metal bowl set over saucepan of simmering water until chocolate mixture is melted and smooth (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Cool chocolate mixture to lukewarm.
Using electric mixer, beat egg yolks, whole eggs, and sugar in large bowl until pale, thick, and tripled in volume, about 6 minutes. Fold 1/3 of egg mixture into lukewarm chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold chocolate mixture into remaining egg mixture. Spoon into prepared dishes, dividing equally. Smooth tops.
Bake until souffles rise and edges are crisp and dark brown but centers are still soft, about 25 minutes. Dust tops with powdered sugar. Transfer to plates. Serve immediately, passing ice cream separately.
