Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua
- 1 cup white sugar
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 375°F. |
| 2 | In a medium-sized bowl, combine cocoa and cornstarch thoroughly. |
| 3 | Add a little of the cream and whisk to make a smooth paste. |
| 4 | Whisk in the remaining cream and the liqueur. (Tip: Experiment with different liqueurs like Kahlua, Grand Marnier, Chambord, or brandy!) |
| 5 | If using evaporated milk instead of cream, expect the mixture to be soupy. |
| 6 | In a large bowl, beat egg whites until almost stiff. |
| 7 | Slowly beat in sugar and beat until stiff and glossy. |
| 8 | Gently whisk a quarter of the egg whites into the cocoa mixture. |
| 9 | Fold in another quarter of the egg whites. |
| 10 | Add all this mixture into the remainder of the egg whites and gently fold until well blended. |
| 11 | Spoon the soufflé batter into 6-to-8 1/2-cup sized custard cups. |
| 12 | The volume may vary depending on how well you beat the egg whites. |
| 13 | Set custard cups into a deep baking pan. |
| 14 | Pour very hot tap water in the baking pan to come up about one-inch around the outside of the custard cups. (This prevents carrying heavy pans with soufflés and water to the oven.) |
| 15 | Bake for 25 minutes until the centers are slightly runny, as they should be. |
| 16 | Serve immediately for the best experience. Enjoy the rich, velvety texture and intense chocolate flavor! |
