    Recipe Introduction


    Tart, refreshing lime balances the richness of the chocolate.


    List of Ingredients


    • 2/3 cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons grated lime peel
    • 10 ounces bittersweet 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


    Instructions


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