Warm Chocolate Silk
Submitted by : Traci

4 ounces bittersweet or semi sweet
chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 1/4 unsalted sticks of butter
1/2 c + tbsp sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 c + 2 tsp all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp unsweeted cocoa
Sweeten whipped cream (optional)
Shaved chocolate or chopped pecans for garnish (optional)

Melt chocolates in top of a double boiler over barely
simmering water,stirring until smooth. Add butter
and sugar and stir until butter melts and
sugar dissolves.

Transfer to a large bowl. Add eggs and next 3
ingredients and beat until mixture thickens to a
mousse consistency, about 8 mins. Divide mixture
into 6 lightly buttered 1 cup soufflé dishes. Cover
w/ plastic wrap and freeze about 3 hours.

Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven
to 375 degrees. Remove plastic wrap from frozen
soufflés and bake for 11 mins or until edges are
set but centers are moist and shiny--DO NOT OVERBAKE!!

Remove from Oven and cool 10 mins. Serve topped with sweeten whipped
cream and garnish w/ the shavings or pecans--add a cherry for that
special touch.
