Ingredients

• Heavy whipping cream

  Fluid

  1 cup, fluid or 238g

• Lime juice

  Raw

  1 ½ tbsp or 23g

• Salt

  Table

  ⅛ tsp or 0.8g

• Limes

  Raw

  1 fruit or 67g

• Semisweet chocolate

  Candies

  ½ cup chips (6 oz package) or 84g

• Sugar

  White, granulated sugar

  ⅔ cup or 133g

• Egg

  Whole, fresh eggs

  5 extra large or 280g

Directions

1. Zest 2 tablespoons of peel from the limes. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes on a baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl, mash together the sugar and lime zest. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the lime sugar mixture. The mixture will become thick.
3. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of the lime sugar mixture and beat until stiff but not dry. Whisk 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites in 2 additions. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spoon the mixture into the prepared soufflé dishes, dividing equally.
4. Bake until the soufflés are softly set and puffed, about 14 minutes.
5. While the soufflés are baking, in a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, lime juice, and remaining 4 tablespoons of lime sugar mixture until peaks form.
6. Top the soufflés with the whipped cream mixture and sprinkle with additional lime sugar, if desired.
