Notes

* I like to serve the chocolate souffle with vanilla ice cream

* These souffles may be made several hours in advance and kept in a refrigerator until just before baking. If refrigerated, bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, the souffles may rest at room temperature for up to 1/2 hour before baking with no effect on cooking time.
