Ingredients

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, divided
1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, melted
3 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 egg whites
Chocolate Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat the bottom and sides of a 2 1/2 quart souffle dish with 2 tablespoons butter, sprinkle bottom and sides evenly with 1/2 cup sugar. Tap out excess sugar; reserve sugar for later use.

In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to bubble. Add milk, orange liqueur, melted chocolates, and salt. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool for 10 minutes. Whisk in beaten egg yolks and vanilla.

In a large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add reserved sugar, beating until stiff. Fold whites into chocolate mixture. Gently spoon mixture into prepared souffle dish. Place souffle dish in a baking pan. Fill pan with 1-inch warm water. Bake for 55 minutes. Serve immediately with Chocolate Sauce.

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

1 (1-ounce) square bittersweet chocolate

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup whipping cream

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

Melt butter and chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler. Add cocoa, sugar, cream, and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla and orange liqueur.

I was so worried because I've never made ANY kind of souffle before and i was very worried it wouldnt stay up. But they did!... I was very careful every step of the way. The results... incredible! So light and fluffy and chocolatey. I didnt make it with Grand Maniere because I was out, but I want to say that it tastes just as delicious without any liquor. I made them in individual dishes which made it look so cute. Of course it was less time in the oven, about 20 minutes or so. LOVED the chocolate sauce. Can use it for so many other things. All and all, the greatest chocolate dessert! Read more

This was the first souffle I have ever made. My husband said to me, "You haven't made this before because???" It was a huge... hit with the entire family. I will certainly make this again.Read more
