Frozen Peach Souffle With Raspberry Sauce Food

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.

FROZEN PEACH SOUFFLE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Use a food mill to process raspberries and remove seeds; discard seeds.
• Alternatively, you can puree raspberries in a food processor, then strain to remove seeds; makes about 1 cup raspberry puree.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together raspberry puree and sugar, until sugar is dissolved; stir in lemon juice and chill (makes about 1/2 cup syrup and can be stored up to 3 days in the refrigerator).
• Cut a sheet of waxed paper to wrap around a one quart souffle dish; fold in thirds, lengthwise, so it is about 4 inches wide; wrap around the souffle dish and tape ends together, like a collar, so it extends the "height" of the dish by 3 inches; chill dish in freezer.
• Alternatively, use the same method to increase the "height" of 8 individual ramekins by 1 1/2 inches.
• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, cook peaches, 1/3 cup sugar and the lemon juice, stirring frequently, until peaches are soft and break down to an applesauce consistency, about 15 minutes.
• Puree the cooked peaches in a food mill or blender; you'll have about 2 cups.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, warm peach liqueur, stir in gelatin and cook, while stirring, until the gelatin melts; stir the gelatin mixture and the almond extract into the peach puree; chill until cold.
• Bring a pot of water to a simmer; beat egg yolks with remaining 2/3 cups sugar in a mixing bowl.
• Place mixing bowl over the simmering water, being sure the bowl does not touch the water; whisk egg yolks until they are pale yellow and have doubled in volume, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat, whisk in the peach mixture and whisk until it cools down.
• Beat egg whites to stiff peaks; in a separate bowl, beat whipping cream to soft peaks.
• Stir half the egg whites into the peach mixture; add remaining egg whites to the whipped cream, then pour the peach mixture on top.
• Gently fold them all together.
• Gently spoon mixture into the souffle dish or the prepared ramekins; it should come at least halfway up the paper collar.
• Smooth out the top and scatter with the toasted almonds.
• Freeze until very firm, at least 4 hours; it can be frozen overnight, but transfer to the refrigerator for an hour to soften before serving.
• If you do make it more than 1 day in advance, press plastic wrap to surface, once frozen.
• To serve, carefully remove collar, serve thin slices with a little raspberry sauce spooned over, and the rest passed.
• Alternatively, serve in individual ramekins, with a little raspberry sauce.

MELBA SAUCE

Steps:

• Thaw raspberries.
• Place in medium saucepan. Cover and gently simmer 15 minutes. Put through a fine strainer into a glass measuring cup, pressing gently to extract as much juice as possible. Discard seeds and pulp.
• Add water to juice, if necessary to make 2/3 cup. Return juice to clean pan. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer and stir until jelly melts, sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth.
• Pour into an airtight jar. Cool. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• **For a thicker sauce, either add more jelly or do not dilute juice from raspberries.
• **If sauce becomes too thick, add water, bring to a boil and stir until smooth.

• POUR half of the raspberry sauce into dessert dishes. Top with mousse. Spoon remaining raspberry sauce over top.
• REFRIGERATE 4 hours or until firm.
• Tip: Substitute 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen strawberries for frozen raspberries. Substitute orange juice for apple juice.

PEACH MELBA SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees; adjust rack to lower third of oven. Lightly spray a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish with vegetable spray, then coat dish with 2 tablespoons of sugar; lightly tap out excess sugar and set aside. In a nonreactive saucepan, combine the peaches, 5 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the peaches are broken down and reach a sauce like consistency, about 20 minutes. Puree in a food processor and return to the saucepan.
• In a small bowl, stir together Cuarenta y Tres and cornstarch until dissolved. Place the peach puree over medium heat; whisk in the cornstarch mixture until mixture comes to a boil, 3 to 4 minutes; continue whisking for about 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a large bowl set over ice water to cool; stir frequently for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in an electric mixer; beat on medium-low speed until foamy. Slowly add 3 tablespoons sugar, then beat on high speed until stiff but not dry.
• Gently fold about a quarter of the beaten egg whites into the chilled peach puree until thoroughly combined. Fold in the remaining egg whites and 3/4 cup raspberries; gently spoon the mixture into the prepared souffle dish. Bake until souffle is firm and has risen 1 to 2 inches over the top rim of dish and is a deep golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes.
• While souffle is baking, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine remaining raspberries and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar; place over medium-high heat. Simmer until the berries release their juices and are somewhat broken down, 5 to 7 minutes. Pass through a fine strainer two times, discarding the seeds, and let cool for 5 minutes. Remove souffle from the oven and serve with warm raspberry sauce.
