Granulated sugar, for coating ramekins (approximately 3 tablespoons)
For the Soufflés:
2 1/2 ounces (about 1/4 cup; 70g) heavy cream and/or whole milk
1 3/4 ounces 68-71% dark chocolate, chopped (about 1/3 cup; 50g)
1 3/4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (about 1/3 cup; 50g)
1 3/4 ounces (1/2 cup; 50g) Dutch processed cocoa powder-if you do not have Dutched cocoa add a pinch of baking soda to your regular cocoa powder

Whites from 8 large eggs, straight from the fridge (8 3/4 ounces; 250g)

Equipment for class:
Note that you can choose to make shuffles or mousse or a combination of both.
For 8 souffles-eight 4-ounce ramekins (you can also use small coffee cups or other straight-sided cup that is oven safe. I used cardboard baking cups successfully as well).
For 4 souffles-4 chocolate mousse- four 4-ounce ramekins and 4-coupe glasses (or other cup for your mousse)
3-quart sauce pan with 2 1/2 cups water
large heat-proof bowl that will sit on the pot without toppling over or touching the water below.
whisk
Stand mixer, mixer bowl, whisk attachment
Silicone spatula
offset spatula or butter knife
rimmed half-sheet pan
Before class:
- Liberally butter the interiors of ramekins, making sure to butter right up to the upper edge of the rim of each ramekin. Sugar the buttered insides evenly, tapping out excess, and set ramekins aside.
- Have all ingredients measured out and placed in small bowls or containers to be ready for class.
- Separate eggs and keep refrigerated.
