This sugar coating will ensure the souffle is held to the bowl when they start to rise.Then, preheat oven to 200 degrees C with rack in lower third.In a microwave safe bowl, add chocolate and 3 tablespoon butter and melt in 20 seconds intervals to take the chocolate out and whisk it.Whisk until chocolate butter mix is melted and a smooth mix is formed. Then, add 1 egg yolk and whisk well. Next add salt, vanilla essence and whisk again, till combined and set it aside.Next, add egg whites into a bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until creamy. Now add cream of tartar or vinegar if you are using that and continue to whisk. Whisk until you see the egg whites begin to turn stiff.Gradually add remaining ¼ cup sugar in slow streams and whisk until the egg whites form soft peaks and look glossy. This may take 2-3 minutes. You have to keep whisking and add the sugar gradually at this stage.Spoon in 1/3 rd of egg whites into the chocolate mixture and using a spatula fold into the chocolate mixture. Continue adding the egg whites in parts and fold into the chocolate mixture, folding gently taking care not to deflate the egg whites. Be gentle and using the folding technique.Spoon the mixture into ramekins evenly with batter all the way up to the top. Then smooth the surface using a spatula to get a nice flat top.An important tip to make the souffle get a nice beautiful height is to run your thumb at the perimeter of the ramekins and create a small channel along the edge. Do this to get a good ¼ to ½ inch perimeter channel in the ramekins. Clean the outer surface of the ramekins using a kitchen towel and pop the ramekins into the oven and bake it for 13 to 15 minutes or until it’s risen well and cooked.Once souffle is done and risen, remove it from the baking tray using kitchen towel, as I found using oven mittens could disturb and break the souffle at the top.Dust with confectionery sugar, add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and serve immediately.
