    Recipe Introduction


    Creme de cacao is a dark, chocolate-flavored liqueur. But any fruit, nut, or coffee-flavored liqueur will work. If you prefer to leave out the liqueur, replace it with an equal amount of chocolate syrup.

    List of Ingredients




    Chocolate-Truffle Souffles


    Cooking spray
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1 cup 1% low-fat milk
    3/4 cup powdered sugar
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 ounce semisweet chocolate, chopped
    3 tablespoons creme de cacao (chocolate-flavored liqueur) or chocolate syrup
    2 large egg yolks
    4 large egg whites
    1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
    1/3 cup powdered sugar
    1 tablespoon powdered sugar

    Recipe




    Coat 8 (6-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place on a baking sheet; set aside.

    Combine the milk, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, cocoa, flour, and salt in a medium, heavy saucepan, and cook 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat; add chocolate, stirring until melted. Stir in liqueur. Gradually add chocolate mixture to egg yolks in a bowl, stirring well. Return mixture to pan. Cook 1 minute over medium heat, stirring constantly. Spoon mixture into a large bowl; cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Add 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourth of the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Spoon the batter evenly into prepared ramekins. Bake at 375 degrees F for 23 minutes or until puffy and set. Sprinkle the souffles with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
