Makes 2 soufflés
What You Need:
1 tablespoon vegan margarine
1/2 cup sugar, divided, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup chocolate soy milk
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon ground vanilla bean
2 tablespoons egg replacer
1-1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
Powdered sugar, for garnish
What You Do:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease 2 6-ounce ramekins with margarine and dust with sugar. In a large bowl, add remaining ingredients except powdered sugar. Using an electric hand-held mixer, blend while tipping bowl slightly to create a fluffy batter.
2. Fill each ramekin 3/4 full with batter, careful not to overfill, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.
