Prepare your ramekins: Take 6 individual ramekins and cut parchment paper strips long enough to wrap around the outsides, securing them with tape or kitchen twine to create a rim that extends about 2 cm above the rims of the ramekins.
Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate with the unsalted butter until smooth. Stir occasionally and set aside to cool slightly.
Whip the egg whites: Place the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly add the granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip until stiff and glossy peaks form.
Prepare the egg yolks: In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks together, then stir them into the melted chocolate mixture along with the vanilla extract.
Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Fold the mixtures together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Then, carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being cautious not to deflate the air in the egg whites.
Fill the ramekins: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling just above the rim created by the parchment paper. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Freeze the soufflés: Place the ramekins on a tray and transfer them to the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Serve: Just before serving, carefully remove the parchment paper from around each soufflé. Dust the tops generously with cocoa powder and serve immediately.
