Cold Raspberry Soufflé Food

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.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 5-6 minutes. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
• Meanwhile, butter ramekins, making upward strokes up the sides with a pastry brush. Sprinkle with sugar, tilting to coat completely and tapping out any excess. Arrange prepared ramekins on baking sheet.
• Combine chocolate and jam in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let bowl touch water); stir constantly until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, 1-2 minutes. Remove bowl from heat. Stir in egg yolk and 1/4 tsp. salt.
• Beat egg whites and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until frothy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, and beat until medium peaks form, 6-7 minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold one-quarter of the beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites in 2 batches. Divide batter among prepared ramekins, filling completely.
• Transfer baking sheet with ramekins to oven and bake soufflés until puffed and tops feel firm to the touch, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Dollop soufflés with cream, top with chopped pistachios, and serve immediately.

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

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.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Fit the souffle dish, or dishes, with doubled bands of foil, brushed with vegetable oil. The foil should extend about 3 inches above the rim of the dish(es).
• Using a double-boiler, or heat-safe bowl over saucepan with simmering water, melt both chocolates, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg YOLKS, until they are thick and pale.
• In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry juice with 1 1/2 T of sugar. Bring to a simmer, then add to the egg yolks in a very slow stream, beating constantly. If you add too quickly, it will cook the yolks. Continue to beat mixture for 1 minute.
• Add yolk/raspberry mixture to chocolate in the same manner as above.
• In a large bowl, beat egg WHITES until frothy, then add the cream of tartar. Continue to beat until the whites hold soft peaks. Add the 1/3 cu sugar a little at a time and continue beating until whites have stiff, glossy peaks.
• In a chilled bowl, beat the cream until is has stiff peaks.
• Stir 1/4 of the whites mixture into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining whites. Just before they are fully incorporated, fold in the whipped cream.
• Spoon mixture into the prepared souffle dish(es), cover loosely and chill for at least 3 hours or until set. Remove collar just before serving.
• Can be made up to 1 day in advance.
