Chocolate Molten Souffles

These are a really impressive dessert that are fairly easy to make.  Very yummy!

Ingredients:
Chocolate Souffles
2 T (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

1 pound semisweet chocolate, in small pieces

8 medium eggs

1 1/2 C sugar

1 1/2 C all-purpose flour

powdered sugar

White Chocolate Sauce

1 C heavy cream

8 oz white chocolate, in small pieces

Make the white chocolate sauce while the souffles are baking: Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a heavy sauce pan. Turn off the heat. Add the white chocolate pieces and stir with rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate has melted completely.

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Use 2 T of the butter to grease 8 ramekins (6 oz capacity) make sure every surface is covered.
• PLACE the remaining 10 T butter with the chocolate pieces in the top part of a double boiler and melt completely, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula.
• BREAK the eggs into the workbowl of food processor, add the sugar and the melted chocolate, and process until the mixture is smooth, about 15 seconds.
• Add the flour and process another 10 seconds. Scrape down the inside of the workbowl with the spatula and process until smooth, about 10 seconds more
• POUR an equal amount of the batter into each ramekin. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the mixture begins to rise and the center is still slightly soft to the touch. Remove the souffles from the oven, but don't let them cool for more than a couple of minutes before you carefully turn them out onto serving plates.
• TO SERVE: Sprinkle each souffle generously with powdered sugar, and spoon the white sauce around the perimeter. Serve warm!

Hint: you can make the batter ahead of time, pour into the ramekins and refrigerate, Bake as described, but add 5 minutes cooking time.
