• Using a previously chilled metal mixing bowl (15 minutes in the freezer), and a kitchen aid with the wire whip attachment, whip the 6 egg whites at low speed for 1 minute or until it begins to get firm.
  
• Add 1 Rodelle Vanilla Bean, split and scraped, and 3 tbsp of powdered sugar, whip the mixture at high speed until it gets very firm (about 2 minutes) and set in a fridge.
  
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  
• In a large sauce pan warm the heavy whipping cream, careful not to boil.
  
• In a mixing bowl combine the 3 egg yolks, 5 tbsp of powdered sugar, 5 oz of Rodelle Gourmet Baking Cocoa and 3 Rodelle Vanilla Beans, split and scraped, and then whisk together.
  
• When the cream has scalded, remove from heat, while beating the egg yolk mixture slowly add the warm cream until all the mixture is evenly mixed.
  
• Let the mixture cool down, then with a rubber spatula incorporate by folding the previously made beaten egg whites and mix evenly with the eggs and Rodelle Gourmet Baking Cocoa mixture.
  
• Butter the inside of 8 ramekins.
  
• Pour the mixture into the ramekins (5 oz volume each approx).
  
• Place the ramekins into a rectangular baking dish or sheet tray.
  
• Place the baking dish in the oven for 25 minutes or until the Cocoa Soufflés have risen.
