  6. Carefully fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture in three additions.
  7. Portion your batters into four ramekins and use an offset spatula or the flat side of a knife to scrape the mixture so it is even and flat on the top.
  8. Using a paring knife or your finger, trace the edge of the ramekin to create a channel between the soufflé mixture and ramekin. This will help ensure a nice rise.
