Lime Raspberry Souffle Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 1-quart souffle dish with nonstick cooking spray and dust generously with granulated sugar. Place the souffle dish in the freezer to chill.
• Stir 1/4 cup of the superfine sugar with the lime juice in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside. Using very clean, dry beaters, beat the egg whites by hand or with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of superfine sugar and the salt while beating. Continue beating until the whites hold a soft peak. Gently fold in the lime juice mixture and the zest.
• Spoon the souffle mixture into the chilled souffle dish. Wipe the rim with your fingers or a damp cloth to ensure proper rising. Put the dish on a baking sheet and place in the oven immediately. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, until the souffle is well risen and lightly browned on top. Serve and eat immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter dishes well, coat with sugar, and tap out excess. Chill.
• Grate peel of 2 of the limes into a small bowl using fine holes of grater. Pour some of the milk into bowl to pick up zest and lime oil. Pour into saucepan along with remaining milk. Scald, turn off heat, cover, and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain.
• Using an electric mixer, beat yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in flour until well combined. Slowly add half the hot-milk mixture with mixer running.
• Return mixture to saucepan with remaining milk mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk a few minutes to smooth. Grate peel of remaining lime and add to mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it onto surface. Keep warm.
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Beat until stiff and glossy.
• Spoon about a third of the whites into lime base and whisk until smooth. Quickly fold remaining whites into mixture until combined. (Don't worry if some streaks remain.) Fill prepared dishes to about 1/4 inch from top. Place a few raspberries in each dish, pressing them gently into batter.Run your thumb around edge of dishes to make a groove.
• Place dishes on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce heatto 375 degrees and bake for another 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired,and serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups with oil spray. Place dishes on baking sheet. Puree raspberries with juices in processor. Strain puree into heavy medium saucepan, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Add 4 tablespoons sugar, jam and cornstarch to saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, about 2 minutes. Add lemon peel and vanilla. Transfer to large bowl. Cool, whisking occasionally.
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar; beat until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/3 of whites into raspberry mixture; fold in remaining whites. Divide mixture among prepared dishes. Bake soufflés until puffed and golden, about 16 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatin over the cold water.
• In a heavy saucepan combine yolks, lemon or lime juice, and sugar.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 160 degrees.
• As soon as the mixture reaches 160 degrees, remove from heat and stir into gelatin to dissolve it. Turn into bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly, about one hour.
• Whisk yolk mixture into meringue mixture. Add rind.
• Beat cream until stiff, and fold into lemon-meringue mixture.
• Pour into individual ramekins, or stemmed glasses, or a 9-inch crumb crust or baked pie shell, and chill one hour or longer.
