Commander's Palace Chocolate Molten Souffle


12 tablespoons butter, softened
1 pound semi-sweet chocolate, in small pieces
8 medium eggs
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups flour
1-cup heavy cream
8 ounces white chocolate, in small pieces
powdered sugar for dusting


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Use two tablespoons of butter to thoroughly grease eight ovenproof, 6-ounce coffee mugs.

Place the remaining 10 tablespoons of butter with the semi-sweet chocolate
pieces in the top part of a double boiler or in a medium bowl set over a
saucepan of barely simmering water. Melt completely, stirring occasionally
with a rubber spatula.

Break the eggs into the work bowl of a food processor, add sugar and melted
chocolate. Process until smooth, about 15 seconds. Add flour and process for
another 10 seconds. Scrape inside of bowl and process until smooth, about 10
seconds more.

Pour an equal amount of batter into each cup. Place on a baking sheet and
bake for about 20 minutes, until mixture begins to rise and center is still
slightly soft to the touch.

Remove soufflés from oven, but don't let them cool more than a couple
minutes before inverting them on serving plates.
