Ingredients

12 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate (the BEST quality you can get please, like Scharffen Berger or Valrhona)

¾ cup sugar

1 cup unsalted butter

4 large egg yolks

6 large egg whites

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter six individual soufflé cups (ramekins).

Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler over simmering water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

In the meantime, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form soft peaks. Still beating, gradually add the sugar until it is combined and the peaks are stiff.

Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Whisk in the flour. Then fold in the whipped egg whites. Divide the mixture among the prepared soufflé cups. Place the cups on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are set. Serve immediately.

NOTE: The batter may be refrigerated in the ramekins for up to 24 hours. Allow extra time to bring it to room temperature before baking.

I bought a bar of Scharffen Berger semisweet chocolate at Trader Joe's yesterday. It was a 3.5 oz bar and I think it was $2.99. Do you buy your good quality chocolate on-line or know where I can get a better buy?

you should order online from:
http://www.scharffenberger.com/products.asp?dept=3

They are in Cali with us (in San Francisco) so the shipping costs won't defeat the whole purpose of trying to save money ;-)

Luisa I love the way these are made as individual servings. The presentation with the star fruit and berries makes it a decadent yet light treat for the eye and palate.
Five forks and a smile :)
