Grease four soufflé molds (4-6 ounce capacity each) with softened butter, making sure to coat the bottoms and sides evenly.

Granulated Sugar, plus 3 more tablespoons for the egg whites2 tablespoons

Pour in 1/2 cup of milk and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth, about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes.

13
Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Carefully fold the remaining egg whites into the chocolate mixture, ensuring not to deflate the egg whites. Fold until just combined, and do not worry if there are a few streaks of egg white remaining.
14
Divide the soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared molds, filling them to the top.
15
Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
16
Bake for approximately ⏱️ 15 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen, are set on the outside, and have a slight wobble in the center.
17
Dust the tops of the soufflés with powdered sugar immediately after removing them from the oven.
