Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix the espresso with the ground cardamom and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. When the sugar has dissolved, strain the mixture through a fine seive and set it aside to cool to room temperature.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush four 8-ounce ceramic ramekins with half the melted butter and dust them with 2 tablespoons of the sugar.

  3. Step 3

    Beat the egg yolks with ⅓ cup of the sugar in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until they lighten and thicken. Remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl and continue beating until cooled to room temperature, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Beat the remaining melted butter into the espresso mixture. Divide this mixture among the 4 ramekins.

  5. Step 5

    Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff but not dry. Fold this mixture into the egg yolk mixture and divide it among the 4 ramekins.

  6. Step 6

    Place the souffles in the oven and bake 6 minutes, until the tops are golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven, dust with confectioners' sugar and coffee, and serve.
