1. Tip #1 To boost the volume factor in soufflés, bring eggs to room temperature before whipping.
2. Tip #2 Whip egg whites until they form soft peaks. Then drizzle honey slowly (adding it too early and quickly can deflate the whites). After adding the honey, increase the whipping speed so that you get as much air as possible into the whites; this may take a full minute.
3. Tip #3 Once soufflés are in the oven, do not open the door to check them until they’ve completely set.
4. The Final Product Soufflés collapse quickly after baking, so serve immediately. Garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of fresh mint.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tbsp white wheat flour
1/2 cup low-fat milk
6 tbsp honey, divided
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray the bottoms of 4 single-serve ramekins (soufflé cups).
- In a heavy saucepan combine the cocoa and flour. Add milk and 3 tbsp of honey and whisk smooth.
- Cook, stirring, over low-medium heat until thick, approximately 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla and set aside to cool slightly.
- Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a small mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining honey and continue beating at high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold 1/4 cup of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten; then gently fold in remaining whites. Divide mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, or until puffy and set. Serve immediately.
