Chocolate Souffle With Dulce De Leche Sauce Recipes

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE WITH DULCE DE LECHE SAUCE

Steps:

• Butter 2 souffle cups and sprinkle bottom and sides with sugar. Place cups on a baking sheet and chill while preparing the soufflés. Melt chopped chocolate with milk, coffee liquor, instant espresso, cornstarch, ½ teaspoon sugar and cinnamon over medium heat, whisking until mixture is smooth.
• Using an electric mixer, beat egg white with cream of tartar and salt on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar; continue beating until stiff peaks form (whites stand up when beaters are lifted from bowl). Using a whisk, blend whites into chocolate mixture until there are no streaks. Fill prepared cups with batter. Bake on the baking sheet until souffles puff, about 20 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center of a souffle-- souffle is done when skewer comes out clean or slightly moist .
• To serve: Cut a slit in the top of each soufflé and pour the Dulce de Leche Sauce. Garnish with whipped cream and chopped nuts.

• Boil cream, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon whisking constantly. Reduce liquid to half and remove from the heat; add vanilla.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE

Steps:

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