Mango Passion Fruit Souffles Recipes

Steps:

• Halve the passion fruit and scoop out the pulp into a saucepan. Add the orange juice and boil until reduced by half. Strain into a jug, to give about 250ml, rubbing through with a spoon. Discard the pips. Cool.
• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 6. Butter the sides and base of 8 x 150ml ramekin dishes evenly, then coat with 1 tbsp of sugar.
• In a large bowl, whisk together half of the caster sugar, the orange zest, ricotta, fromage frais, 1 tbsp cornflour and the egg yolks. Fold in the mango flesh and 6 tbsp of the reduced juice.
• Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then whisk in the remaining sugar. Fold this into the ricotta mix and spoon into the prepared dishes, levelling the top. Set the dishes in a large, deep roasting tin and pour round boiling water to come halfway up the dishes. Cover the whole roasting tin with foil and seal the edges loosely. Bake for 50 mins until the soufflés have risen and set.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Blend the 1 tsp cornflour with a little cold water. Bring the remaining juice to the boil in a small saucepan, mix some into the cornflour, then pour back into the pan with the Curaçao or Cointreau. Heat, stirring until thickened. Set aside to cool. Dust each dessert lightly with icing sugar and drizzle with a little sauce. Serve remaining sauce separately.

Steps:

• Remove the lower racks of the oven and preheat to 410 degrees. Brush 6 1-cup ramekins with a thin layer of butter, then dust with sugar. Tap out excess sugar. Place the ramekins on a small sheet pan.
• Mix 1/4 cup sugar with the jam or apple peels until well combined. In a small saucepan, bring the passion-fruit purée to a boil. Add the sugar mixture and stir with a whisk. Lower the heat and bring to a steady simmer. Whisk continually for about 10 minutes, or until reduced by about one-fourth. Cool to room temperature and strain through a fine sieve.
• Make the base: in a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the cooled purée. Add 3 tablespoons sugar and whisk to combine.
• In a mixer, whisk the egg whites until they are foamy and no longer increase in volume. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons sugar. Continue whisking until the sugar dissolves and the whites form shiny stiff peaks. Gently but rapidly fold the whites into the base.
• Pour the mixture to the top of each ramekin. Dust with confectioners' sugar and bake on the oven floor for 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. The soufflés should rise between 1 1/2 to 2 inches over the top of the ramekins. Dust again with confectioners' sugar if you choose. To serve, gently tap a small hole into the top of each soufflé and pour in a few teaspoons of the remaining passion-fruit purée.
