Ingredients

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 cup atural unsweetened cocoa powder (spooned into cup to measure, then leveled)
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), finely chopped
Orange Blossom Cream
Special Equipment
8 2/3-to 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups

Steps:

Butter eight 2/3-to 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups; dust with sugar, completely coating to top edge. Whisk 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and 1/8 teaspoon (scant) salt in small saucepan. Pour 2/3 cup milk into measuring cup; whisk enough milk from cup into saucepan to form thick paste (2 to 3 tablespoons), then gradually whisk in remaining milk from cup. Stir over medium- low heat until bubbles begin to form around edges of pan. Continue cooking until slightly thickened, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Add cocoa powder, remaining 2 tablespoons milk, egg yolks, and vanilla; stir until smooth, thick paste forms. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, beating on high speed until firm peaks form. Add 1⁄4 of whites to chocolate mixture; fold to blend. Add remaining beaten egg whites and chopped chocolate and fold until whites are just blended into batter.
Divide batter among prepared ramekins; place on rimmed baking sheet. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Bake soufflés until puffed above rim of ramekin and toothpick inserted into center comes out with thick batter attached, about 12 minutes (15 minutes for chilled soufflés). Using spoon, form small indentation in top of each soufflé; spoon dollop of Orange Blossom Cream into indentations. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
3/4 teaspoon orange-flower water
Ingredient info: Orange-flower water can be found in the liquor aisle or baking section of some supermarkets and at liquor stores and Middle Eastern markets.

Steps:

Using electric mixer, beat all ingredients in medium bowl until peaks form. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk before serving.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh orange blossoms, if you can find them. They are typically available in the spring and early summer. If you can't find fresh orange blossoms, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of orange blossom water or extract. Be careful not to use too much, as it can be overpowering.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Be careful not to overcook the orange blossom cream, or it will become grainy. It is done when it has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Orange blossom cream can be used as a filling for cakes, pies, and tarts. It can also be used as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or fruit.
Orange blossom cream can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Orange blossom cream is a delicious and versatile dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be used in a variety of ways. Whether you are using fresh orange blossoms or extract, this cream is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give orange blossom cream a try!
