SOUFFLÉ INGREDIENTS

1 teaspoon melted butter

2 tablespoons of white sugar

2 ounces 70% dark chocolate, broken into pieces

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

4 1/3 tablespoons cold milk

Pinch of sea salt

Pinch cayenne pepper

Pinch of cinnamon

2 large egg whites

Pinch of cream tartar

1 tablespoon of white sugar, divided

Orange zest

SAUCE INGREDIENTS

2/3 cup heavy cream

5 teaspoons of apricot brandy liqueur

2 teaspoons sugar

Pinch of sea salt

2 ounces of dark chocolate, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS

1-   Preheat grill to 375°F(190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminium foil.

2-   Brush the entire inside of both ramekins with butter. Add sugar and coat all sides. Pour out extra sugar.

3-   Place chocolate in a metal mixing bowl. Place over a saucepan of 3 cups of hot water and set on low heat on the side burner. Do not let the water boil or simmer. Heat until the chocolate melts.

4-   Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat on the side burner. Sprinkle in flour. Whisk until flour is incorporated into butter and mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low.

5-   Whisk in cold milk until mixture becomes smooth and thickens, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove skillet from burner. Transfer mixture to bowl with melted chocolate. Add sea salt, cayenne pepper and cinnamon.

6-   Mix thoroughly. Add egg yolk and mix to combine. Leave bowl above the hot (not simmering) water to keep the chocolate warm while you whip the egg whites.

7-   Place 2 egg whites in a mixing bowl, add cream of tartar. Whisk until mixture begins to thicken and drizzle from the whisk stays on the surface about 1 second before disappearing into the mix, 2 or 3 minutes.

8-   Add 1/3 tablespoon of sugar and whisk in. Whisk in a bit more sugar after about 15 seconds, then whisk in the rest of the sugar. Continue whisking until mixture is about as thick as shaving cream and holds soft peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.

9-   Transfer half the egg whites to chocolate. Mix until egg whites are thoroughly incorporated into the chocolate, 1 or 2 minutes. Add the rest of the egg whites, gently fold into the chocolate with a spatula, lifting from the bottom and folding over. Stop mixing after the egg white disappears.

10-   Divide mixture between 2 prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on prepared baking sheet.

11-   Bake in the preheated grill until soufflés are puffed and have risen above the top of the rims, approximately 20 minutes.

12-   While soufflés are cooking, make the chocolate apricot brandy sauce. Pour cream into a saucepan and set on high heat on the side burner.

13-   Add liqueur, sugar and sea salt. Whisk in chocolate and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.

14-   Remove from the heat.

15-   Pour chocolate brandy sauce over tops of soufflé. Top with orange zest.
