Hot Chocolate Soufflés

Directions
Preparation:15min  ›  Cook:10min  ›  Ready in:25min 

1. Rub butter around the inside of the ramekins then add about 1 teaspoon of caster sugar and swirl it around so that the butter is covered with a thin layer of sugar. Throw away any sugar that hasn’t stuck.
2. Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl over simmering water until it melts.
3. Separate the eggs. Use a wooden spoon to mix the yolks with the caster sugar until the mixture becomes creamy. Stir the mix into the chocolate.
4. Whisk the egg whites. It will take a few minutes until they become light and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and keep whisking until it is thick and shiny.
5. Stir a spoonful of the whites into the bowl of chocolate and stir gently to loosen the mix. Carefully fold in the rest of the egg whites using a large metal spoon.
6. Spoon the soufflé mix into the ramekins and bake for around 10 minutes when they should have risen but still have a little wobble in the middle. Take them out of the oven and put the ramekins onto a serving plate.
