Chocolate Souffle With Warm Fudge Sauce


Ingredients

Soufflé:

Cooking spray
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups fat-free milk
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg yolk
6 large egg whites

Sauce:

1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/2 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Directions

Position oven rack to the lowest setting, and remove middle
rack. Preheat oven to 425. To prepare the soufflés, lightly
coat 6 (8-ounce) soufflé dishes with cooking spray.
Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons sugar. Set aside.

Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tbsp flour, 3 tbsp cocoa,
and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring
with a whisk. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups milk, stirring constantly
with a whisk; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until slightly
thick, stirring constantly with a whisk; remove from heat. Add
3 ounces chocolate; stir until smooth. Transfer mixture to a
large bowl; cool to room temperature. Stir in vanilla and egg
yolk. Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl; beat at high
speed with a mixer until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat).
Gently fold one-fourth of egg whites into chocolate mixture;
gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Gently spoon
mixture into prepared dishes. Sharply tap dishes 2 or 3
times on counter to level. Place dishes on a baking
sheet; place baking sheet on the bottom rack of 425°
oven. Immediately reduce oven temperature to 350° (do not
remove soufflés from oven). Bake 40 minutes till a
wooden pick inserted in side of soufflé comes out clean.

To prepare sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over
medium high heat. Add 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa,
and 1 tbsp flour; stir well with a whisk. Gradually add 1/2
cup milk, stirring well with a whisk; bring to a boil. Cook
1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring constantly with
a whisk. Remove from heat; add 1/2 ounce chocolate,
stirring until smooth. Serve warm with soufflés.
