Brownies...Made Out Of Clouds!

This is a recipe for a chocolate souffle that I made on Easter. It's amazing--they taste like brownies made out of clouds!

One tip:  Make sure you don't overwhip the egg whites. It makes the brownie clouds less puffy!

These souffles were so yummy, I forgot to take a picture of them!

Melted butter and sugar (to grease and dust molds/ 6-oz ramekins)

3 1/2 oz of semi sweet chocolate chopped

1 1/2 tbsp butter

2 eggs separated

2 egg whites (not counting the ones that are separated)

pinch of salt

3 tbsp sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Put  chocolate and butter in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water until melted and set aside to cool. Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate. With an electric mixer, whisk all of the egg whites on a low speed until foamy. Continue whisking gradually adding sugar and turning up the speed until stiff but not dry. Fold a whisk full of egg whites into chocolate until slightly lighter.

Add all of the whites into the chocolate and fold. Try not to deflate them. Spoon batter into molds and place on a baking sheet. bake for 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately. Makes 8 souffles.
