LEMON PUDDING SOUFFLé

Steps:

• In a large kettle, combine the milk, cream, sugar, lemon zest, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk to combine.
• Transfer to the stove and slowly heat over medium-high heat. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula to ensure the mixture is heating evenly. Cook until the mixture comes to a low simmer. Bubbles should appear throughout, 5-8 minutes.
• Remove from heat and strain into a large bowl. Press through a strainer and stir in lemon juice, vanilla, and butter. Stir until the butter is melted.
• Place plastic wrap directly on pudding and chill at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Combine the cream, powdered sugar, and limoncello in a large bowl.
• Start to beat on low with a hand or stand mixer.
• After about one minute when the mixture becomes frothy, turn the mixer up to high and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, 2-4 minutes.
• Add the sour cream and mix in until combined.
• In a large bowl, fold together the pudding and whipped cream.
• Once mostly mixed, add the angel food cake and continue to fold until the mixture is combined.
• Prepare a soufflé dish by folding a 24'' piece of aluminum foil lengthwise into thirds. Create a collar around the top of the 2-quart soufflé dish and tape to seal the collar. If this extra step is not desired, use a trifle bowl to serve.
• Pour soufflé into the prepared dish, making sure to fill to the top. The collar will give the final presentation the effect of a true soufflé.
• Chill at least 6 hours.
• Approximately 30 minutes before serving, transfer to the freezer to ensure the pudding in the collar will stay solid once removed.
• To serve, remove the collar and enjoy it immediately.

LEMON PUDDING SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Lightly brush four 8-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust each with sugar. (This can be done up to 2 hours ahead.)
• Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat, then cool to warm. Whisk in the sugar and lemon juice and zest until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the egg yolks. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and an instant-read thermometer registers 175 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Do not boil. Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the flour until smooth. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar if using in a large, clean nonreactive bowl. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks. Fold a quarter of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
• Divide the souffle mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place the filled ramekins in a roasting pan. Carefully fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake the souffles until golden brown on top, 12 to 14 minutes. Using tongs as an aid, carefully remove the hot souffles from the water to a plate.
• If desired, make a small indentation in the center of each souffle and place a small scoop of raspberry sorbet in the indentations. Serve the souffles immediately.
