Individual Chocolate Coconut Soufflés - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 large eggs, separated
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup milk
6 oz dark-chocolate melts, melted
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
None None Powdered sugar, to dust
None None Hot fudge sauce and whipped cream, if desired, to serve

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F. Lightly grease six 8-oz ramekins or a 6-cup casserole dish.
Using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks with half of sugar in a bowl until thick and creamy. Stir in butter. Fold in milk, chocolate, flour and coconut.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar until glossy. Fold into chocolate mixture.
Pour mixture into prepared ramekins. Place in a baking pan. Pour enough boiling water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake for 15-20 minutes (or 40-45 minutes for a large dish), or until firm. Let cool for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve with hot fudge and whipped cream, if desired.
