Hey can anyone give me a good recipe for chocolate soufle? i have seen a lot of recipes with melted chocolate and double cream; but i dont want one of those because those are expensive. I used to make soufle using cocoa powder and used gelatin to make the soufle firm; but since quite some time i m having problem with the gelatin: the soufle remains liquidy and gelatin granules remain in th soufle which ruin the whole thing. PLEASE can someone help me with the gelatin disaster?

Chocolate Lava Muffins from Alton Brown on Good Eats 8 ounces (1 1/3 c) semisweet chocolate chips 1 stick butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup sugar 3 tablespoons flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 eggs Butter, to coat muffin tin 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 1 cup vanilla ice cream 1 teaspoon espresso powder Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place a small metal bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Melt the chocolate and butter in the bowl. Stir in vanilla. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt. Sift these into the chocolate and mix well with electric hand mixer. Add eggs one at time, fully incorporating each egg before adding the next. Beat at high until batter is creamy and lightens in color, approximately 4 minutes. Chill mixture. Coat the top and each cup of the muffin tin with butter. Dust with the cocoa powder and shake out excess. Spoon mixture into pan using a 4-ounce scoop or ladle. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes. Outsides should be cake-like and centers should be gooey. While muffins are in oven, melt the ice cream in a small saucepan. Stir in the espresso powder. Serve over warm muffins.

CHOCOLATE SOUFLE 1/3 cup sugar plus additional for sprinkling 5 oz bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped 3 large egg yolks at room temperature 6 large egg whites Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream Special equipment: a 5 1/2- to 6-cup glass or ceramic soufflé dish Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously butter soufflé dish and sprinkle with sugar, knocking out excess. Melt chocolate in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove bowl from heat and stir in yolks (mixture will stiffen). Beat whites with a pinch of salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until they just hold soft peaks. Add 1/3 cup sugar, a little at a time, continuing to beat at medium speed, then beat at high speed until whites just hold stiff peaks. Stir about 1 cup whites into chocolate mixture to lighten, then add mixture to remaining whites, folding gently but thoroughly. Spoon into soufflé dish and run the end of your thumb around inside edge of soufflé dish (this will help soufflé rise evenly). Bake in middle of oven until puffed and crusted on top but still jiggly in center, 24 to 26 minutes. Serve immediately.

I've entered a recipe for a Chocolate Cloud souffle and it uses only a little light cream, and no gelatin. I've never used much gelatin so I can't help you with the separation problem. Possibly it isn't dissolved enough before you add it to the mixture?
