Use your fingers to coat the inside of a 4-cups pot (or four 1 1/2-cup soufflé mold) with softened butter. Fill the mold with granulated sugar so it adheres to the butter, then pour out the excess.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Melt the chopped chocolate and sugar in a bowl over a bain-marie. Add the half-and-half and cocoa powder. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Set on the side to cool slightly.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Add the yolks one by one to the chocolate ganache and stir until smooth.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Place the egg whites in the bowl of a mixer with the pinch of salt and whip on medium speed until foamy. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and make a French meringue by gradually adding 2 tablespoons of sugar. Whip the whites to stiff but not dry peaks. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can tell the egg whites have been overwhipped if they start to separate and become watery.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Use a rubber spatula to fold about 1/4 of the meringue into the chocolate mixture to lighten. Fold the remaining meringue gently into the chocolate mixture.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fill the buttered and sugared pot or ramequins with the chocolate mixture. Fill to about 1/4 inch below the rim of the mold. Run your thumb around the rim to remove the excess butter and sugar.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bake until the soufflé has risen to about 1 1/2 half-inch over the rim. Cooking time will vary depending on size of the pot or ramequin. A 1-1/2 cup ramequin will take about 12 minutes to cook. A 4 cups pot will take 25 to 30 minutes. A 6 cups dish will take up to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and dust the top with powdered sugar.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br /><br />By Chef Zen<br /><br /><br />Bon Appétit!<br /><br /><br /><br />
