2 medium, separated
Cornflour
1 tbs
Icing sugar
¾ cup(s), (120g) sifted
Egg white

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 220°C or 200°C fan-forced. Lightly spray six 1-cup (250ml) capacity soufflé dishes with oil.

Place cocoa in a small saucepan with 2⁄3 cup (160ml) water. Stir over low heat until cocoa has dissolved. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and cool for 10 minutes. Add egg yolks, cornflour and half the icing sugar to cocoa mixture and stir until smooth.

Using electric beaters, beat the 6 egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining icing sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition until sugar has dissolved and mixture is smooth and glossy. Gently fold egg white mixture into cocoa mixture in 2 batches.

Divide mixture among prepared dishes. Bake for 15 minutes or until soufflés are puffed and lightly browned. Serve immediately
