Chocolate Suffle

This was our favorite dessert in Central Asia. It was also a social experience as it took 2o minutes to prepare and ordering it meant a few extra rounds of cay (tea) and conversation. It is the best chocolate dessert ever created – still hot, cake on the outside and molten lava hot, syrupy, chocolaty goodness on the inside. It was always served with ice cream on top, a cup of powdered sugar and a cup of cream. I wanted to score the recipe before we moved back but was never able to get a clear explanation as to how it was made. Recently, I found a very similar recipe on the back of a Bakers Chocolate box. Surprisingly similar. Surprisingly good. Surprisingly simple. So, I’m sharing the love today. Make yourself a chocolate suffle, but don’t get carried away or you’ll end up like me- having to buy new jeans!

Chocolate Suffle

1 pkg. (6 squares) BAKER’S SELECT Semi-Sweet Chocolate

10 Tbsp. butter

6 eggs, divided

1-1/2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar, divided

1/2 cup fresh raspberries

HEAT oven to 425°F. Microwave chocolate and butter in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min.; whisk until melted. Separate 3 eggs. Beat whites with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; set aside. Stir the 3 yolks, 3 whole eggs and 1-1/2 cups of sugar into chocolate mixture. Gently stir in beaten whites.

POUR into 10 greased (4-oz.) custard cups on baking sheet.

BAKE 13 min. or until cakes are firm around edges but still soft in centers. Let stand 1 min. Run knife around edges to loosen; invert onto plates. Top with remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar and raspberries.

TIPS Don’t cook it too long, I usually take it out around 11 min. You want the middle to be runny consistency of chocolate syrup. I like to serve it in the ramkin it was cooked in so that it stays piping hot. Also, you can prepare it one or two days early and leave the mixture covered and refrigerated in the ramkins until you are ready to cook them.

Our favorite chocolate suffle place was a restaurant on a peninsula in a tiny village overlooking a bay. The view was amazing and the beaches pristine. Why in the world they had such a good chef at this place will remain a mystery!
