  • Yield

    Makes 6 souffles

Ingredients

2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons grated lime peel
10 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
5 large eggs, separated, room temperature
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chilled whipping cream
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Place six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes on baking sheet. Mash sugar and lime peel in small bowl. Stir chopped chocolate in medium bowl set over saucepan of simmering water until melted. Remove from over water; whisk in yolks, 2 tablespoons lime-sugar, and salt (mixture will become thick). Beat egg whites in large bowl to soft peaks; add 2 tablespoons lime-sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Whisk 1/3 of whites into chocolate mixture to lighten; fold in remaining whites in 2 additions. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill dishes with soufflé mixture, dividing equally. Bake until softly set and puffed, about 14 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, whip cream, lime juice, and 4 tablespoons lime-sugar to firm peaks in medium bowl.

    Step 3

    Top soufflés with cream. Sprinkle with more lime-sugar.
