Preparation
Step 1
In a large saucepan, combine cocoa, 1/4 cup of sugar, and cornstarch. Stir in milk and coffee. Mix well. Cook over medium heat, whisking until cocoa mixture is smooth and boils, about 5 minutes. Boil cocoa mixture without stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Let stand until just cool.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray eight 1 cup ramekins with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites and cream of tarter until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar and salt; beat until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.
Step 3
Transfer cocoa mixture to a large bowl. Fold in 1 cup of beaten egg whites; fold in remaining egg whites and grated chocolate. Spoon into prepared ramekins and smooth tops.
Step 4
Bake soufflés until tops are puffed and firm, but centers are still soft, about 25 minutes. Dust with confectioners sugar. Serve immediately.

- Brown sugar
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Set your stove on a low heat setting.
- In a sauce pan, add the milk, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well over low heat.
