Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside. Combine 3/4 cup sugar, the cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat in whole eggs until smooth; whisk in cream and vanilla. Add bread cubes; stir, allowing bread to soak up custard. Scatter raisins in greased pan; top with egg mixture, which will prevent raisins from burning. Bake until pudding is golden and firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. It should be moist, not runny or dry. Cool to room temperature.
• Butter six 6-ounce ceramic ramekins; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar; continue whisking until shiny and thick. Test with a clean spoon. If whites stand up stiff, like shaving cream, when you pull out the spoon, meringue is ready. Do not overwhip, or whites will break down and souffle will not work.
• In a large bowl, break half the bread pudding into pieces using your hands or a spoon. Gently fold in a quarter of the meringue, being careful not to lose the air in the whites. Divide a portion of this mixture among the ramekins. Place remaining bread pudding in bowl, break into pieces, and carefully fold in rest of meringue. Top off souffles with this lighter mixture, piling it high, about 1 1/2 inches over top edge of ramekins. With a spoon, smooth and shape tops into a dome over ramekin rims. Bake immediately until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately. Using a spoon at the table, poke a hole in the top of each souffle, and spoon the room-temperature whiskey sauce into the souffles.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE OR PUDDING SOUFFLE

Steps:

• If you intend to prepare chocolate souffles, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. If you intend to serve this dish as a cold mousse, ignore this step.
• Combine one-third cup of the sugar and one-half cup of the water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let this mixture barely simmer.
• Put one-quarter cup of the sugar into the container of a food processor equipped with a metal blade. Add the egg whites. Combine the remaining two tablespoons of water and the vinegar and set aside. Start processing the egg whites for eight seconds while adding the water and vinegar through the feed tube. Process for exactly two minutes, no longer. The mixture should be thick and hold its shape.
• Pour and scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. It is not necessary to clean the processor container.
• Return the container and blade to the machine and add the chocolate pieces. Add the remaining sugar and coffee powder into the container of the food processor. Start processing until the chocolate is very finely textured. At this point, with the machine running, gradually add the simmering syrup through the feed tube. Process for 30 seconds.
• Stop the machine and add the egg yolks and vanilla. Process by starting and stopping the machine four times (four short pulses). Scrape the egg whites back into the machine and combine the mixture, using a few short pulses, just until the egg whites have almost disappeared. Do not overprocess.
• If you are going to serve this dish as a mousse, pour and scrape it into a one-and-one-half-quart serving dish. Refrigerate at least four hours or, preferably, overnight.
• If you are to serve this mixture as a souffle, butter eight six-fluid-ounce individual souffle dishes, using about one teaspoon of butter for all of them. Sprinkle the inside of each with sugar, using a total of four teaspoons. Shake out the excess.
• Pour an equal amount of the chocolate mixture into each dish. Place in the oven and bake 12 minutes, or until well puffed and soft and creamy on the inside. Serve immediately.
