- 3 large Egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 2 ounce Semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Dissolve the instant coffee in hot water and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt. Gradually whisk in the hot milk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the dissolved coffee. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the coffee mixture.
- Divide the mixture among 4 greased ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until puffed and set.
- While the souffles are baking, prepare the mocha sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Remove the souffles from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with the mocha sauce.
