Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon plus ¼ cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 2 extra-large egg whites at room temperature
  • ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar

Accompaniment

  • Chocolate sauce Homemade or store-bought, and warmed

Instructions

  • Place the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 375℉. Butter the insides of two 6-ounce ramekins and sprinkle each ramekin with 1 ½ teaspoons of sugar, shaking out excess.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of sugar, coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  • In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup of sugar. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Using a silicone spatula, fold in the espresso mixture just until blended. (Be careful not to overmix and deflate the egg whites.)
  • Evenly divide the egg white mixture into the prepared ramekins.
  • Using an offset spatula, smooth the tops of the soufflés. Pinch the top rim of each ramekin between two fingers and rotate it to clear the batter from the edge, creating a lip for better rising.
  • Place the ramekins on a quarter-size sheet pan and bake until puffed and edges are lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer the soufflés to serving plates. Use a spoon to break open the centers, then pour in the warm chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
