Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Butter a one-quart souffle dish or four eight-ounce souffle dishes.

  3. Step 3

    Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add the sugar and vanilla. Allow the mixture to cool.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk the egg yolks until they are pale yellow. Gradually stir them into the warm (but not hot) chocolate. The recipe can be prepared ahead to this point.

  5. Step 5

    Beat the egg whites until they stand up in glossy peaks. Stir one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then gradually fold in the rest.

  6. Step 6

    Bake souffle in center of oven for about 25 minutes for a large souffle, about 10 minutes for smaller ones. Remove from oven, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve. Pass whipped cream separately.
