To melt the chocolate you can use microwave or double boiler. If you are using microwave then place the chocolate in a small bowl and microwave in medium stirring every 20 seconds. It will take 1 to 2 minutes for the chocolate to melt. Otherwise place the chopped chocolate on top of a double boiler, stir gently when it is almost done remove from heat and stir until the whole things get melted. Now take another bowl whisk egg yolk and cream until combined. Then whisk in the chocolate until smooth, and then add flour and cinnamon powder or vanilla essence as per your choice and whisk until everything is well blended.

Now with a rubber spatula gently folds half of the egg white mixture to the chocolate mixture. Then with soft hands fold the rest of egg white mixture to the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain. Now with a large spoon place the soufflé mixture in the prepared ramekins. Fill up to ¼ inch below the rim. Place on a baking sheets bake until its firm on top and puffed up at least an inch above the rim. Dust with powder sugar and garnish with pieces of strawberry. Serve immediately. Like romance soufflé is best when served hot. So light up some scented candles and enjoy this romantic chocolate soufflé . I hope it will rock .
