Souffle, a French classic, is in fact a baked mousse. The secret for a perfect souffle lies in how you whisk the whites: the more the better. I will explain to you how to do it so that you will get a nice and aerated dessert.
So, whenever you are in the mood for something sweet that contains a lot of chocolate you may choose to cook a souffle. It doesn't take long, you will only have to pay attention to some small details.
I find this dessert perfect for a cold winter night when watching a good movie. And I simply love the smell that comes out of my oven when it is baking.
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
You will need to melt the chocolate. If you don't have a double boiler, just half fill a pot with water and place it on the stove over medium heat.
Chop the chocolate and add it to a saucepan together with the butter. Take the pan and place it in the pot with the boiling water. Stir until the chocolate melts.
Crush the banana using a fork. It is best to use very ripe bananas, even the ones you don't feel like eating anymore. They are softer and give a smoother consistency to the souffle. Add the sugar and stir well.
Add the melted chocolate to the banana. Only stir until everything is well incorporated.
Separate the yolks from the whites and add them to the chocolate mixture one by one. Stir well after each yolk.
Now it is time to whisk the yolks. Use a mixer and process until stiff peaks form. The best test you can do is to turn the bowl upside down. If everything stands still it means that your are ready to move on.
Use a spoon to add the yolks little by little to the chocolate mixture. Stir with a spatula. It is not advisable to use the mixer at this point because the whites will lose their stiffness and your dessert will be sticky.
Grease 6 souffle forms with some butter and divide the mixture between them. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
Take out of the oven and serve immediately, otherwise it will lose its consistency and texture.
Enjoy!
