6. Chocolate Souffle



You can serve this scrumptious sweet treat at a grand party or a casual weekend dinner, that’s the beauty of this all-time favourite dessert! Though, they can seem intimidating to cook, but souffles are not that hard to crack! They get their signature height from stiffly beaten egg whites, with just one bite they can blow away your taste buds.

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter at room temperature, for the baking dish
• ¼ cup of Healthy Alternatives Organic Sugar, powdered plus more for baking dish
• 1 cup of L’exclusif Chocolate Chips
• 1 Tsp. of pure vanilla extract
• 3 Healthy Alternatives Free Range Country Egg Yolks, lightly beaten plus 4 egg whites
• ½ teaspoon of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 1 1/2-quart tall-sided baking dish. Coat it with sugar, tapping out the excess. Set this dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
2. In a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine the chocolate, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
3. Stir in the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture until it’s well combined. Set the souffle base aside.
4. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and the lemon juice on medium-high until some soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes (do not overbeat).
5. In two additions, fold the egg-white mixture into the souffle base: With a rubber spatula, gently cut down through the center and lift up some base from the bottom of bowl. Turning the bowl, steadily continue to cut down and lift up the base until just combined.
6. Transfer the mixture to the dish, taking care not to get batter on the top edge of dish; smooth the top. Bake the souffle until it has puffed up and set, 30 to 35 minutes. (Do not open oven during first 25 minutes of baking.) Serve immediately.
