Passionfruit Soufflé Recipe
Ingredients
Fromage frais
- 200 g goat’s fromage frais
- 1 tbsp honey
Passionfruit soufflé
- 150 g passionfruit pulp, seeds removed (approx. 20 passionfruit)
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp corn flour mixed with 1 tsp water
- Unsalted butter, softened, for greasing the ramekins
- Extra caster sugar, for coating the ramekins
- 8 eggs whites
- 110 g (½ cup) caster sugar, to make the meringue
To serve
- 2 tbsp icing sugar, sifted
Method
Fromage frais
- Drain the fromage frais in a muslin-lined sieve. Drain for 1 hour or until the fromage frais has thickened slightly. Discard the whey.
- Place the thickened fromage frais and honey into a small bowl; stir well to combine. Place into the fridge until needed.
Passionfruit soufflé
- Place the strained passionfruit pulp and the 2 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil on high heat, induction setting 8. Boil until the mixture is reduced by half, around ⅓ cup. Remove from the heat and whisk in the corn flour mixture. Return to the cooktop and bring to the boil again. Remove from the heat. Place into the fridge until cool.
- Preheat the oven on Fan Plus at 180⁰C. Brush the insides of 8 x 200 ml souffle ramekins with butter and dust with a little caster sugar.
- Place the egg whites in the bowl of a freestanding mixer with a whisk attachment and whisk on high speed. Add the remaining sugar and continue to whisk until soft peaks form.
- Place the passionfruit mixture into a bowl and mix in 1/3 of the egg whites. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
- Fill the prepared ramekins with the soufflés mixture, tap the ramekins gently to remove any air bubbles and smooth the top with a palette knife. Place the ramekins on a baking tray.
- Place the tray on shelf level 2 in the preheated oven. Cook for 10 minutes or until soufflés have risen evenly and cooked through.
To serve
- Remove the soufflés from the oven and dust the top with the icing sugar. Serve immediately with a spoonful of the fromage frais mixture.
Handy Hints and Tips
- When greasing the moulds be sure to brush the butter upwards, this will help the soufflé rise.
- Place your thumb on the inside edge of the ramekin and rotate to wipe a small amount of mixture from the edge, this will make the souffle rise more evenly.
- When passionfruit is in season freeze your pulp to use as a tasty addition to yoghurt or granola.
