Chocolate Soufflé

A classic French dessert that's rich, creamy, and melts in your mouth. The perfect ending to any meal.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter four ramekins and dust with cocoa powder, shaking out the excess.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks.
Fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg whites.
Divide the mixture among the prepared ramekins and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and set but still a little jiggly in the center.
Dust the soufflés with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
