Method
Preheat oven to 220°C. Grease two 300ml souffle dishes with butter, then sprinkle with extra sugar to coat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill.
Place the chocolate and cream in a pan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the egg yolks and brandy, then cover and set aside for up to 2 hours.
Whisk the 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add caster sugar and whisk until glossy. If the chocolate has gone cold, reheat slightly then fold in 1 tablespoon of the egg white into mixture, then fold in the rest.
Fill the dishes to just below the rim, bake for 8-10 minutes until risen. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.
This recipe makes two individual chocolate souffle.
