Peach Souffle Cake Food

INDIVIDUAL PEACH SOUFFLéS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter six 8-ounce ramekins and place them on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a food processor, pulse the peaches until coarsely chopped. (You want the pieces to be no larger than 1/4 inch.)
• Place 2 tablespoons of the chopped peaches in each of the prepared ramekins.
• Add the lemon juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to the remaining chopped peaches in the food processor. Process until very smooth and puréed. Transfer 1 cup of the peach purée to a bowl; reserve any remaining peach mixture to spoon over yogurt or blend into a smoothie.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed, beat the egg whites with a pinch of the salt until foamy. Add about 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar and beat on high speed until the whites hold soft peaks, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining granulated sugar and continue to beat on high until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted.
• Add about 1/4 of the beaten egg whites to the peach purée mixture and gently stir until well combined. Pour this mixture over the remaining whites and fold them together as lightly as possible.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared soufflé ramekins (the mixture should come up to the top of each). Smooth the top with a metal spatula. Run your thumb around the inside rim of each dish, making a shallow channel around the edge of the batter, to help the soufflés rise up straight and tall.
• Bake the souffles in the ramekins on the baking sheet until puffed, golden, and gently set in the center, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the souffles from the oven, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately.
