Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter four 6-ounce ramekins thoroughly and sprinkle 2 tbsp granulated sugar evenly inside each, tapping out excess. Set aside.
- Step 2: Melt 6 oz bittersweet chocolate with 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 3: Whisk 4 large egg yolks into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Step 4: In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Step 5: Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in the remaining whites until no streaks remain.
- Step 6: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling nearly to the top. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until soufflés have risen and the tops are set but still slightly wobbly.
- Step 7: Meanwhile, combine 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tsp lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until raspberries break down. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
- Step 8: Serve the soufflés immediately with the warm raspberry sauce drizzled over or alongside.
