RECIPE: CHOCOLATE SOUFFLEE

125 ml 35 % cream ( ½ cup)
120 gm bittersweet chocolate , (4 oz )
2.5 ml vanilla (1/2 tsp)
20 ml Grand Marnier or favourite liquor (1 ½ Tbsp. )
3 eggs, separated + 2 whites
70 gm granulated or caster sugar (1/3 cup )
Icing sugar or cocoa for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 425 no convection degrees F.

Butter 6 x 6 oz ramekins (175 ml) each and sprinkle well with sugar. Tap out excess and make sure that the top rim of ramekin has no sugar on it or the souffle will catch as it rises and prevent the perfect puff.
Fill a medium baking dish with water 2 inches high.

Melt chocolate with cream over a double boiler , with water just steaming. Do not stir until it melts. Take off heat . Stir 3 egg yolks to blend well and while chocolate is still hot, whisk in the 3 egg yolks until smooth and thickened. Stir in the vanilla and Grand Marnier . You can make this mixture ahead and cover well at room temperature for a few hours , until ready to make the souffles. When you want to bake them , just heat gently over the water bath again for a few minutes.

Whip 5 egg whites in a clean bowl, on medium speed until light and fluffy. Increase to high speed and continue to whip while gradually add sugar until glossy but not stiff . Stir ¼ of this egg white mixture into warm chocolate base until full blended and no white streaks appear. Fold in remaining meringue , gently and quickly .

Reduce oven temp to 400 D.

Place ramekins in water bath. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until puffed. Water bath is not essential but it does give you a more perfect rise for the final souffle.

Makes 6

Creme Anglaise:
250 ml full fat milk (1 cup )
75 gm sugar ( 1/3 cup )
3 large egg yolks
1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
Grand Marnier 1 Tbsp.- 2 Tbsp. (15-25 ml)

In a small , heavy bottom sauce pan, heat milk ,sugar and 1/2 vanilla bean , over medium heat. In a small bowl whisk the egg yolks. Once milk is scalded but not at a rapid boil, pour a little of the hot milk into yolks to temper, and whisk thoroughly. Add yolk mixture back to hot milk and return to medium high heat. Stir with wooden spoon until mixture just coats the back of your spoon, about 3-5 minutes. Do Not Boil! The sauce will thicken more once cooled so you don't want it to boil or it will split. Remove from heat and add the Grand Marner. Stir and cool completely.

Pour into finished souffle , as per video.
