Chocolate Hazelnut Souffles

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Prepare two medium bowls. To one bowl, add the chocolate hazelnut spread and two egg yolks. Mix until combined.

3. To the second bowl, add the two egg whites. Using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until frothy. Once frothy, add one teaspoon of sugar to the mixture. Continue to beat on high speed until stiff peaks have formed.

4. Take one third of the whipped egg whites, and fold into the chocolate hazelnut mixture with a silicone spatula. Gently mix until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the next third, and then the final third.

5. Prepare two ramekins by coating in a thin layer of butter. Add roughly one teaspoon of sugar to each ramekin, and shake the ramekin around to completely coat the butter layer in sugar. Discard any leftover sugar that doesn’t stick.

6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the souffles have risen and are completely set at the top. Try to not open the oven until they are fully cooked through. Top with powdered sugar, whipped cream and berries if desired, and serve warm.
