Chocolate Souffle

Return to the fire and cook for six minutes. Put the shaved chocolate, sugar and two tablespoonfuls of water in a small pan over the hot fire, and stir until smooth and glossy. Stir this into the mixture in the double boiler. Take from the fire and add the yolks of the eggs, well beaten; then set away to cool. When cool, add the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff froth.
