Butter 6-1 cup ramekins or 1 -2 qt. ramekin with softened butter. Sprinkle the baking dish(es) with sugar, making sure to coat the sides and bottom. Discard extra sugar. Add chocolate and warm cream to a large bowl. Let sit for 2 - 3 minutes then whisk. If chocolate is not melting easily, microwave the mixture for 30 seconds then whisk until smooth. (repeat if necessary) Add 1/4 cup sugar, orange liquor, orange zest, vanilla extract and pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. Mix well. Add egg yolks and whisk to combine. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer (you can also do this by hand with just a whisk and a bowl) add the egg whites and cream of tartar. With the mixer on low, mix the eggs whites and cream of tartar until small bubbles begin to form. Increase the speed to high and mix until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the sugar a small amount at a time and continue to beat on high until smooth glossy and stiff peaks form. Using a spatula fold in 1/4 of the egg white mixture into chocolate mixture. Once the egg white is completely folded in, add the remaining egg whites, being careful not to over mix. Pour the mixture into the prepared dishes(dish) and bake for 14 - 16 minutes (or 30 minutes if you used a 2 qt. dish) - until the souffle has risen and is golden brown on the top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately. ********************************************************** Some of my favorite kitchen tools: Stand Mixer: http://amzn.to/2wh9ZFb Kitchen Scale: http://amzn.to/2jdu5iE Dutch Oven: http://amzn.to/2gSQdu3 Meat Thermometer: http://amzn.to/2vWLySa Chef's Knife: http://amzn.to/2wRb3mJ Apron: http://amzn.to/2wRfa25 SUBSCRIBE for more great recipes! http://bit.ly/2dZcaoZ **************************************************** ABOUT THIS CHANNEL: Amanda Frederickson is a professional cook and food stylist.
