Cold Raspberry Soufflé Food

CHILLED RASPBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Set a few berries aside for decoration and pulse the rest in a food processor. You're looking for a consistency between chopped and puree.
• Whip heavy cream till you get peaks.
• Transfer berries to a bowl and fold in the sugar, then the whipped cream reserving a little for garnish later.
• Cut a two inch wide strip of parchment paper and tape it to a stemmed glass so as to make a collar that increases the depth of the glass by about 3/4 inch.
• Spoon in the raspberry mixture till level with the top of the paper.
• Chill in a cold refrigerator for several hours.
• When ready to serve, remove the paper. The souffle should be above the rim of the glass. Top the soufflé with a dollop of whipped cream and place a couple of the reserved berries on top.

RASPBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 4 (8-ounce) ramekins or a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish by greasing with softened butter and coating with granulated sugar, pour out any excess. The butter and sugar will keep the souffles from sticking to the sides and will allow them to rise evenly. The sugar will also give the souffle a crunchy crust, which is a great contrast to the soft interior.
• To make the fruit puree base, heat the raspberry puree, 3/4 cup sugar and butter in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat, cool slightly, then strain to remove the raspberry seeds. Whisk in the egg yolks 1 at a time.
• In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar just until they hold soft peaks. Fold 1/3 of the beaten whites into the raspberry mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the rest. Spoon into the prepared ramekins or souffle dish and place on a cookie sheet. Bake on the middle rack for about 20 minutes. The souffle is done when it has puffed over the rim, the outside is golden and the center giggles slightly. Take care not to over bake. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

RASPBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Generously butter four 8-ounce ramekins with the softened butter and then, using a pastry brush, brush the butter on the sides of the ramekins in an upward direction; it will help the souffles rise. Dust the ramekins with 1 tablespoon superfine sugar, dividing it evenly among the ramekins.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberry liqueur, lemon juice, 1 cup raspberries and the remaining 2 tablespoons superfine sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the raspberries have cooked down to a jam-like consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Transfer 1 cup of the sauce to a large bowl and set aside. Reserve the rest in the pan.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F; position the rack in the middle.
• Divide the remaining 1/4 cup raspberries among the ramekins and top evenly with the raspberry sauce from the pan. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on low speed until foamy, 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat on low speed for 1 minute. Raise the speed to medium and slowly add the powdered sugar. Continue to beat until the whites hold firm peaks, about 7 minutes. Fold a third of the beaten whites into the reserved 1 cup raspberry sauce to lighten it. Fold in the remaining egg whites. Spoon the souffle batter into the ramekins, smoothing it over if you want a tidy finish (see Cook's Note) or mounding it, like cotton candy, if you want a more rustic look. (If you are going for a classic souffle look, be sure to carefully and thoroughly wipe around the ramekin edges.)
• Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the souffles are puffed and dark golden, about 15 minutes; they should remain pudding-like on the inside. Serve immediately, garnished with raspberries, if desired.

CHILLED RASPBERRY SOUFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Tie a double fold of greaseproof paper around the soufflé dish so it comes up 5 to 7cm (2 to 2¾in) above the rim. Secure with sticky tape.
• Place the raspberries and lemon juice in a blender goblet and purée until smooth, then sieve to remove the seeds. Place the egg yolks and 100g (4oz) of caster sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on high speed until doubled in volume. The whisk should leave a ribbon trail in the mixture.
• Dissolve the powdered gelatine in 100ml (4fl oz) cold water and leave until it turns spongy.
• Place the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and stir until the gelatine has melted and is clear. Remove from the heat and whisk into the egg yolk and sugar mixture along with the raspberry purée.
• Lightly whip the cream and fold gently into the raspberry mixture. Whisk the egg whites until they are stiff, then whisk in the remaining caster sugar - a spoonful at a time - until you have a thick, glossy mixture.
• Fold the egg whites into the raspberry mixture and pour into the prepared soufflé dish; chill overnight.
• Remove the paper collar and pipe rosettes of whipped cream around the edge and decorate with the remaining raspberries.
