Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk
- 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp (200 mL) 35% whipping cream
- 30 g instant mocha coffee
- 2 bars (200 g) Lindt Excellence 70% Cacao Dark Chocolate (separated)
- 3 eggs
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) sugar
- Amaretti biscuits, coarsely chopped or crushed for sprinkling
Method
-
Heat milk, cream and instant mocha coffee, then remove from heat, leaving mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in six espresso or mocha cups, insert a strip of baking paper, about 3 cm wide and 10cm long, in such a way that the soufflé can rise about 2 cm above the rim. Use tape to hold this strip in place. Break 1 bar of Lindt chocolate into small pieces.
-
Separate the eggs. Using a bain-marie, beat egg yolks into the mocha-cream-milk mixture until it has a thick consistency. Gradually add the pieces of chocolate, stirring as they melt into the hot cream. Allow to cool.
-
Add a pinch of salt to egg whites and beat until stiff. Gradually add sugar while beating. Fold it carefully into the chocolate cream mixture.
-
Pour mixture into each cup to top of paper ring. Place cups in the freezer for 4 hours.
-
Melt second bar of chocolate. Remove paper strips from the cups and pour some melted chocolate onto the frozen soufflés. Sprinkle with crushed amaretti for decoration, and serve.
