'Foolproof' chocolate and orange soufflé

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5.

2. Brush the inside of 6-8 large ramekins with the softened butter and dust with the caster sugar

3. For the soufflés: melt the butter, chocolate and liqueur in a bowl over a bain-marie (double boiler) or in a heat-proof bowl placed over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water.

4. Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff and gradually add the sugar, whisking until the mixture is a thick and glossy meringue.

5. Fold half the meringue into the chocolate mixture, then carefully repeat with the other half. Fill each prepared ramekin with the soufflé mixture. Bake for 12 minutes.

6. To serve: remove from oven, immediately dust with sifted icing sugar and cocoa powder. Serve straight away with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
