Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate Chocolate Souffle with Grand Marnier Chocolate Sauce

Doesn't just the name of the recipe make your mouth water?:) It's a great Emeril recipe that I sometimes use just for the souffle.

But the sauce is great in itself. It is really decadent and goes great with ice cream too.

I can't say it is the easiest thing to make, but it really doesn't take that much time. And if you are good at mixing the sugar with the egg whites, there's really nothing to this recipe. Enjoy:)



HAWAIIAN VINTAGE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE WITH GRAND MARNIER CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
8 ounces Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate semisweet chocolate, chopped fine
4 large egg whites
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
3/4 cup Chocolate Grand Marnier Sauce, recipe follows
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Butter 4 individual ramekins and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon sugar for each ramekin.

Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat.

In a bowl beat the egg whites with 1/4 cup of the sugar until stiff and glossy.
Whisk the egg yolks into the melted chocolate 1 at a time, add the Grand Marnier, and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Fold in the egg whites until thoroughly blended. Transfer mixture to ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Bake until puffed and somewhat firm, about 20 minutes.

While souffles are baking, prepare the Grand Marnier Chocolate Sauce and keep warm until souffles are ready to serve.
