Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. 2

   Measure out sugar, separate eggs and measure and chop chocolate.

3. 3

   Butter soufflé dishes entirely and then add sugar (additional) coating the entire dish.

4. 4

   Melt chocolate - you can either use a microwave, 20 seconds then stir and continue till done, or you can use the metal bowl method.

5. 5

   Add yolks to chocolate (this will harden the chocolate so don't be alarmed).

6. 6

   Use a beater on whites with a pinch of salt and adding sugar, a little at a time. Beat until whites hold med-stiff peaks.

7. 7

   Fold white mixture into chocolate little by little (be gentle and it is okay if some chunks are left, but make it as smooth as possible).

8. 8

   Pour into soufflé dishes and run the end of your thumb around inside to remove any extra batter.

9. 9

   Bake until puffed and crusted on top but still jiggly in center, 20 to 25 minutes.

10. 10

    Serve immediately.
