Passion Fruit Souffle Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a baking tray on the top shelf to heat up. Grease 4 x 150ml ramekins with butter and dust the insides with caster sugar to coat.
• Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until stiff. Add 1 tbsp of the sugar and whisk for 30 secs more until thick and glossy. In a separate bowl, scoop the pulp from 1 passion fruit into the custard, then fold in the whisked egg white. Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins and put on the hot baking tray. Bake for 15 mins until risen and golden on top.
• While the soufflés are cooking, make the sauce. Scoop the remaining passion fruit pulp into a saucepan, add the remaining sugar and simmer gently for 5 mins. Finally add a knob of butter and stir until melted. Pass through a sieve and serve in a jug with the hot soufflés as soon as they come out of the oven. Let your guests break a hole in the centre of their soufflé, then pour in the sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in center. Generously butter inside and rims of four 6-ounce ramekins. Sprinkle with granulated sugar to coat insides of ramekins, shaking out the excess. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate until needed.
• Bring milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium. Whisk together cornstarch and 1/3 of the passion fruit puree in a medium bowl until smooth. While continuing to whisk, slowly pour half the hot milk over passion fruit mixture; whisk until incorporated. Return passion fruit mixture to saucepan, and cook, whisking constantly, over medium until mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and whisk in remaining passion fruit puree. Cover to keep warm, and set aside.
• Place egg whites and lemon juice in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium-low speed just until foamy. Increase speed to medium-high, and add granulated sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Add 1/3 of the egg white mixture to reserved passion fruit mixture, and whisk until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining egg white mixture until just incorporated.
• Evenly divide passion fruit mixture among prepared ramekins, gently smoothing tops with the back of a spoon. Bake until puffed and lightly golden, 14 to 16 minutes. The surface of the souffles should be firm with centers that are slightly runny. Carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Dust tops with confectioners' sugar. Scoop a scant teaspoon from center of each souffle, and fill with passion fruit seeds and pulp. Serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease two ramekin dishes with butter and sprinkle with one tablespoon of the caster sugar.
• Place the egg whites into a large clean bowl and whisk until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Add the remaining sugar and whisk again until thick and glossy.
• Place the custard into a separate large bowl, add the passionfruit seeds and pulp and mix well. Gently fold in the whisked egg whites. Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins and place onto a baking sheet.
• Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden-brown.
• Meanwhile, for the bananas, heat the butter in a non-stick pan until it turns slightly brown. Add the sugar and the bananas and cook, stirring frequently, until the bananas are golden-brown all over.
• To serve, place the soufflés onto serving plates in their ramekin dishes. Place the bananas alongside and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with fresh mint.
• To serve.
• vanilla ice cream.
• few sprigs fresh mint.

Steps:

• In a pan, heat the milk and cream with 1 tbsp of the 40g caster sugar. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with the remainder of the 40g sugar, then whisk in the two flours, a third at a time. Slowly pour the scalded milk onto the yolk paste, whisking well. Return to pan and whisk over a gentle heat until thickened and smooth. Cook for 1 min, then spoon back into the large bowl. Cover with cling film and cool.
• Peel the mango, roughly chop the flesh and discard the stone. Soak the dried mango for 10 mins in hot water, then drain. Halve the passion fruits and scoop the flesh and seeds into a blender or food processor. Add the fresh and soaked mango. Blitz well until smooth. Mix in the alcohol. You should have around 550ml purée. Beat into the cooled egg mixture. Set aside until ready to bake. Can be kept in fridge for 2 days.
• Brush the insides of eight 150ml ovenproof dishes or ramekins evenly with the soft butter, using upward strokes. Coat well with half of the chocolate, shaking out excess, then chill to set.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Remove any grease from a large bowl, by rubbing with lemon juice, then whisk egg whites until thick and glossy. Gradually whisk in 100g sugar to form a glossy meringue. Beat a third into the fruit base, gently fold in the rest.
• Place the prepared dishes on a baking tray. Spoon the mixture into each dish right to the top. Scrape the tops level with a palette knife and sprinkle with remaining chocolate. Bake for 20 mins until risen and golden on top. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately - you may find it useful to use a fish slice to lift the hot dishes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Make a collar for a 5 or 6 cup souffle dish by cutting 12" wide foil so it is 3" longer than the circumference of the dish, and folding foil lengthwise into thirds.
• Lightly butter and sugar one side of foil, leaving 3" on one end unbuttered.
• Attach foil, sugared side in, tightly around the outside of the dish so the foil extends about 2" above the dish, overlapping the unbuttered end.
• Tape to seal and set aside.
• In a small saucepan melt margarine or butter; stir in flour until completely incorporated into the butter.
• Add the fruit puree.
• Cook and stir constantly till thickened; remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites and vanilla till soft peaks form.
• Gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar, beating till stiff peaks form.
• Fold about 1 cup of the meringue into the passion fruit mixture.
• Fold fruit mixture into remaining meringue.
• In a medium mixing bowl beat egg yolks till combined.
• Gently stir the hot mixture slowly into beaten egg yolks and set aside.
• Transfer the egg mixture to the prepared soufflé dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or till a knife inserted near the centre comes out clean.
