1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and place a baking tray on the top shelf. For the sauce, heat the cream and sugar until boiling. Remove from the heat, stir in the chocolate and butter until melted, then keep warm.
2. Brush 6 x 150ml ramekins with melted butter, sprinkle with the 2 tbsp caster sugar, then tip out any excess. Melt the chocolate and cream in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, cool, then mix in the egg yolks. Whisk the egg whites until they hold their shape, then add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, whisking back to the same consistency. Mix a spoonful into the chocolate, then gently fold in the rest.
3. Working quickly, fill the ramekins, wipe the rims clean and run your thumb around the edges. Turn oven down to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6, place the ramekins onto the baking tray, then bake for 8-10 mins until risen with a slight wobble. Don't open the oven door too early as this may make them collapse.
4. Once the soufflés are ready, dust with icing sugar, scoop a small hole from their tops, then pour in some of the hot chocolate sauce. Replace the lids and serve straight away.

'The word soufflé has always been a bit scary to me, but these were very easy to assemble, so don't be afraid!'

  Can I just ask before I try them, do I need to make them just before serving? As I'm hoping to take them to a friend's for dessert and am hoping I can just heat the sause there before pouring in and serving. Could this work or would the souffles have gone too hard my then?

  Fantastic!! always worried about making this dish but the instructions were so easy to follow and they came out exactly as they should,nour guests were very impressed to say the least.. I did change the sauce for an orange version though that went very well. Rich, light and highly recommended.
