Cooking Instructions

  1. Position the oven rack to the lowest setting and remove the middle rack.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
  3. To prepare the soufflés, lightly coat 6 mini soufflé dishes with butter, sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of sugar and set aside.
  4. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour, cocoa, balsamic glaze and salt in a medium saucepan and whisk over a medium-high heat.
  5. Gradually add the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with the whisk.
  6. Cook for a further 2 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
  7. Remove the mixture from the heat, add the dark chocolate and stir until smooth.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and cool.
  9. Stir in the vanilla extract and the egg yolk.
  10. Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and beat at high speed with a mixer until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat).
  11. Gently fold one-fourth of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then gently fold in  the remaining egg whites.
  12. Gently spoon the mixture into the prepared soufflé dishes. Sharply tap the dishes 2 or 3 times on the kitchen counter to level the mixture.
  13. Place the dishes on a baking sheet, put the baking sheet on the bottom rack and immediately reduce the oven temperature from 200 °C to 180 °C.
  14. Bake the soufflés for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the side of a soufflé comes out clean.
  15. To prepare the sauce, melt the sugar in a saucepan, then add the butter. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
  16. Serve warm with the soufflés.
