Ingredients
- 12 oz. milk chocolate chopped
- 1-1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Vanilla ice cream
Preparation
Step 1
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter eight 3/4 cup souffle dishes. Coat souffle dishes with sugar. Arrange souffle dishes on heavy large baking sheet. Stir milk chocolate and butter in metal bowl set over saucepan of simmering water until chocolate mixture is melted and smooth (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Cool chocolate mixture to lukewarm. Using mixer beat egg yolks, whole eggs, and sugar in large bowl until pale, thick, and tripled in volume, about 6 minutes. Fold 1/3 of egg mixture into lukewarm chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold chocolate mixture into remaining egg mixture. Spoon into prepared dishes, dividing equally. Smooth tops. Bake until souffles rise and edges are crisp and dark brown but centers are still soft, about 25 minutes. Dust tops with powdered sugar. Transfer to plates. Serve immediately.
