Method
- Heat oven to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6) and put a baking sheet in to warm. Grease six 250ml soufflé dishes with the butter and coat with cocoa powder. Chill in the freezer.
- Heat the coconut milk in a pan with the chocolate, cocoa powder and cornflour. Bring to the boil, whisking until it starts to come away from the sides of the pan. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in half the sugar. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then whisk in the egg yolks.
- Whisk the egg whites until they hold their shape. Add the remaining sugar and whisk until stiff and shiny. Loosen the chocolate mix with a third of the egg whites, then fold in the remainder.
- Divide the soufflé mix between the dishes so they're only two-thirds full. Transfer the dishes to the heated baking sheet and cook for 12-15 mins. Serve with a dusting of icing sugar.
