CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 5-6 minutes. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
• Meanwhile, butter ramekins, making upward strokes up the sides with a pastry brush. Sprinkle with sugar, tilting to coat completely and tapping out any excess. Arrange prepared ramekins on baking sheet.
• Combine chocolate and jam in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let bowl touch water); stir constantly until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, 1-2 minutes. Remove bowl from heat. Stir in egg yolk and 1/4 tsp. salt.
• Beat egg whites and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until frothy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, and beat until medium peaks form, 6-7 minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold one-quarter of the beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites in 2 batches. Divide batter among prepared ramekins, filling completely.
• Transfer baking sheet with ramekins to oven and bake soufflés until puffed and tops feel firm to the touch, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Dollop soufflés with cream, top with chopped pistachios, and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY FALLEN SOUFFLé ROLL

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan. Line pan with waxed paper; grease and flour paper.
• Melt semisweet and unsweetened chocolates together. Cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat just until whites stand in stiff peaks when beaters are lifted.
• In large bowl, using same beaters, and with mixer on high speed, beat egg yolks with 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 5 minutes or until very thick and a pale lemon color. Reduce speed to low; beat in vanilla and salt.
• With rubber spatula, fold cooled chocolate mixture into egg-yolk mixture. Gently fold one-third of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture, then fold in remaining egg-white mixture.
• Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until top feels set when lightly pressed. Cover cake with dampened, clean cloth towel; cool in pan on wire rack 30 minutes.
• While cake is cooling, in large bowl, with clean beaters and with mixer on medium speed, beat cream and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
• Remove towel from cake; sift 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar over cake. Cover cake with sheet of foil and large cookie sheet. Invert cake onto cookie sheet; carefully peel off waxed paper.
• Spread whipped cream evenly over cake, leaving 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle 2 cups raspberries over whipped cream. Starting from a long side and using foil to help lift cake, roll cake, jelly-roll fashion (cake may crack).
• Place 2 spatulas under roll, and transfer, seam side down, to long platter. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
• To serve, sprinkle roll with confectioners' sugar and garnish with raspberries.

RASPBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Generously butter four 8-ounce ramekins with the softened butter and then, using a pastry brush, brush the butter on the sides of the ramekins in an upward direction; it will help the souffles rise. Dust the ramekins with 1 tablespoon superfine sugar, dividing it evenly among the ramekins.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberry liqueur, lemon juice, 1 cup raspberries and the remaining 2 tablespoons superfine sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the raspberries have cooked down to a jam-like consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Transfer 1 cup of the sauce to a large bowl and set aside. Reserve the rest in the pan.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F; position the rack in the middle.
• Divide the remaining 1/4 cup raspberries among the ramekins and top evenly with the raspberry sauce from the pan. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on low speed until foamy, 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat on low speed for 1 minute. Raise the speed to medium and slowly add the powdered sugar. Continue to beat until the whites hold firm peaks, about 7 minutes. Fold a third of the beaten whites into the reserved 1 cup raspberry sauce to lighten it. Fold in the remaining egg whites. Spoon the souffle batter into the ramekins, smoothing it over if you want a tidy finish (see Cook's Note) or mounding it, like cotton candy, if you want a more rustic look. (If you are going for a classic souffle look, be sure to carefully and thoroughly wipe around the ramekin edges.)
• Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the souffles are puffed and dark golden, about 15 minutes; they should remain pudding-like on the inside. Serve immediately, garnished with raspberries, if desired.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE WITH RASPBERRY CREAM

Steps:

• Whip the cream in a chilled bowl until semi-stiff. Add confectioners' sugar and whip until stiff. Refrigerate. Puree raspberries in a food processor, then pass them through a sieve; fold this into the whipped cream and reserve until later.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter 4-1/2 cup capacity ramekins and lightly dust the insides with sugar; set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine the semisweet and unsweetened chocolates with the milk. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly. The minute the chocolates are melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the melted chocolate to a small bowl and cool to room temperature.
• Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are soft. Add the granulated sugar and whip until stiff but not dry. Whisk the yolks into the cooled melted chocolate. Fold 1/4 of the whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold the lightened chocolate mixture back int the egg whites. Spoon the mixture into the ramekins and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The souffles should remain moist in the center.
• To serve, bring the souffles to the table and serve raspberry cream on the side. Each diner should break the souffle open with a spoon and add raspberry cream in the center

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Fit the souffle dish, or dishes, with doubled bands of foil, brushed with vegetable oil. The foil should extend about 3 inches above the rim of the dish(es).

• In a separate bowl, beat egg YOLKS, until they are thick and pale.
• In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry juice with 1 1/2 T of sugar. Bring to a simmer, then add to the egg yolks in a very slow stream, beating constantly. If you add too quickly, it will cook the yolks. Continue to beat mixture for 1 minute.
• Add yolk/raspberry mixture to chocolate in the same manner as above.
• In a large bowl, beat egg WHITES until frothy, then add the cream of tartar. Continue to beat until the whites hold soft peaks. Add the 1/3 cu sugar a little at a time and continue beating until whites have stiff, glossy peaks.
• In a chilled bowl, beat the cream until is has stiff peaks.
• Stir 1/4 of the whites mixture into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining whites. Just before they are fully incorporated, fold in the whipped cream.
• Spoon mixture into the prepared souffle dish(es), cover loosely and chill for at least 3 hours or until set. Remove collar just before serving.
