INGREDIENTS

6 Ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped into pieces

¼ cup butter, softened

4 large egg yolks

10 large egg whites

¼ cup sugar

Icing sugar

Whipped cream

INSTRUCTIONS

Butter a soufflé dish and dust with sugar, tapping out excess.

Preheat oven to 430°F.

Melt chocolate and stir until smooth. Whisk butter into hot chocolate; add yolks and combine well. Beat egg whites until frothy. Beat in sugar gradually, and beat until whites hold stiff peaks.

Lighten chocolate mixture with ¼ of the whites, and then gently fold in remaining whites (a few white streaks may show, and this is not a problem). Pour into prepared dish. Put dish in slightly larger baking pan and add enough hot water in second pan to reach ⅓ up the side of the soufflé dish. Bake for 40 minutes (center will be very soft).

Give a light dusting of icing sugar over top; bring to table immediately. Serve with whipped cream.
