Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, and position a baking rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the ramekins: Spray three 7 oz. ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. (You can also use softened unsalted butter.) Sprinkle in some sugar and tilt the dishes to coat the inside completely. Tap to remove excess sugar. Arrange the prepared baking dishes on a baking sheet, and set aside.
- Fill a saucepan halfway full and bring the water to a simmer over high heat.
- Combine the chocolate and half-and-half in a large heat-safe bowl that fits over the saucepan. When the water is simmering, set the bowl over the saucepan to create a double boiler. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
- Using a hand mixer (or stand mixer), beat the egg whites until they have formed soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar, and beat again until the egg whites form hard peaks. Set aside.
- Stir the egg yolk and salt into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture, stirring quickly so the yolk doesn't scramble.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined. This is very important because if you overmix the batter, your souffles won't rise as much!
- Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins. You can fill them to the top!
- Bake the souffles until they have risen a lot and the tops are firm to the touch, about 14-16 minutes. If you can peek at your souffles without opening the oven door, do this around the 10-11 minute mark to check the rise.
- Serve the souffles immediately, sprinkling with powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh fruit or simply by themselves!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush bottom and sides of 2 (5-ounce) ramekins lightly with 1 teaspoon melted butter; cover bottom and sides right up to the rim. Add 1 tablespoon white sugar to ramekins. Rotate ramekins until sugar coats all surfaces. Pour off extra sugar.
- Place chocolate pieces in a metal mixing bowl. Place bowl over a pan of about 3 cups hot water over low heat. Do not let water boil or come to a simmer.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour. Whisk until flour is incorporated into butter and mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in cold milk until mixture becomes smooth and thickens, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer mixture to bowl with melted chocolate. Add salt and very small pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix together thoroughly. Add egg yolk and mix to combine. Leave bowl above the hot (not simmering) water to keep chocolate warm while you whip the egg whites.
- Place 2 egg whites in a mixing bowl; add cream of tartar. Whisk until mixture begins to thicken and a drizzle from the whisk stays on the surface about 1 second before disappearing into the mix, 2 or 3 minutes. Add 1/3 of sugar and whisk in. Whisk in a bit more sugar about 15 seconds; whisk in the rest of the sugar. Continue whisking until mixture is about as thick as shaving cream and holds soft peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer a little less than half of egg whites to chocolate. Mix until egg whites are thoroughly incorporated into the chocolate, 1 or 2 minutes. Add the rest of the egg whites; gently fold into the chocolate with a spatula, lifting from the bottom and folding over. Stop mixing after the egg white disappears. Divide mixture between 2 prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until scuffles are puffed and have risen above the top of the rims, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Place chocolate and butter in medium bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup sugar, flour, and cocoa powder in small bowl. Bring milk and vanilla to boil in heavy small saucepan. Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into sugar mixture to blend. Return mixture to same saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until thick paste forms, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Scrape mixture into bowl with chocolate and butter; stir until chocolate is melted (mixture may look curdled). Add egg yolks and whisk until mixture looks shiny and creamy. (Soufflé base can be prepared 1 day ahead. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface and refrigerate. Bring soufflé base to room temperature before continuing.)
- Butter eight 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups; dust with sugar. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites until frothy. With mixer running, gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar, then salt; beat just until soft peaks form. Fold 1/3 of whites into soufflé base until well combined. Gently fold in remaining egg whites just to blend (some white streaks may remain). Divide batter among prepared dishes. Place dishes on rimmed baking sheet. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake soufflés until puffed above rim of dish, tops are flat, and edges are set, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately with Cardamom Crème Anglaise.
