How to Make Classic Hot Chocolate Souffle W Chocolate Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Butter six ramekins (approx. 6 oz capacity) and dust generously with granulated sugar, tapping out excess.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, ½ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until pale, thick, and ribbon-like (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. In a separate heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (double boiler), melt 6 oz bittersweet chocolate, ⅓ cup heavy cream, 1 tbsp strong brewed coffee, and 1 tbsp cognac. Stir until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined.
  6. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until puffed and set around the edges.
  9. Immediately remove from oven and serve with the chocolate cream sauce.
  10. **Chocolate Cream Sauce:** In a double boiler, melt 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, 2 tbsp butter, and ⅓ cup heavy cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
