Recipe
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine first three ingredients and stir until smooth.
Melt butter in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, cook 1 minute, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Gradually add milk, 1/4 cup sugar and salt. Cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in cocoa mixture. Pour into a large bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
Beat egg whites at high speed until foamy. Add 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1 cup of the egg whites into the cocoa mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in remaining egg whites. Spoon into a 1-1/2 quart souffl� dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until puffy and set.
While souffl� is baking, melt raspberry jam over low heat until liquid. Set aside until souffl� is done.
To serve, cut souffl� into 6 wedges. Spoon raspberry sauce onto the dessert plate. Place a wedge of souffl� in center of plate. Drizzle additional sauce onto souffl�. Top with a mint sprig if you feel festive!
