NEIMAN MARCUS' MANDARIN ORANGE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Pour 1/4 cup of the orange juice into a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over, and stir to dissolve.
• Seat aside to let the gelatin soften.
• Prepare and ice bath in a large bowl.
• Pour the remaining orange juice into a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir in the sugar and egg yolks.
• Over medium heat, gradually bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to steam and is slightly thickened. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
• Add the softened gelatin mixture (which will have a rubbery texture) and the lemon juice.
• Stir until incorporated and then transfer the "custard" to a clean mixing bowl; sit the bowl in the ice bath to cool.
• While the custard is cooking, stir it occasionally.
• Using a wire whisk or an electric whisk, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
• With a spatula, gently fold some of the whipped cream into the cooled custard mixture to "loosen" it, then add the rest of the cream mixture and fold in until fully incorporated.
• Place three or four of the mandarin orange sections in the bottom of six individual 5-ounce fluted plastic dessert molds and then fill the molds with the orange souffle mixture.
• Place the molds on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
• Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, and preferably overnight, until firm.
• Carefully unmold.

NAVEL ORANGE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 3 6-oz. ramekins and dust with granulated sugar.
• Cut the rind and pith from the oranges. Halve the oranges across the equator and take out any seeds, then cut into chunks and put them in a blender or food processor. Pulse until they're reduced to a smooth puree.
• Pour the puree into a small saucepan, stir in the sugar and saffron and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. In a cup or small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the orange-sugar mixture over high heat. When it begins to boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer to a nonreactive bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• Place the eggs whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the orange mixture with a rubber spatula until blended (but don't stir too much to avoid losing the air in the egg whites).
• Fill each ramekin to the top with the souffle mixture and smooth flat with a spatula. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and set them on the top rack in the oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the souffles have risen about 1/2 inch above the ramekins and are golden brown on top. Remove from oven and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.
