It Is Really A Lemon Souffles Recipe

The magic that is a souffle eluded me and my sweet tooth for longer than I'd care to admit. It just seemed too complicated, too stressful, too sophisticated for a home baker.


Individual Lemon Souffles Recipe

Ingredients:
  • Unsalted butter, softened, to coat ramekins
  • Granulated sugar, to coat ramekins
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 (16 ounce) container frozen sliced strawberries or raspberries in sugar, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions:

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat the bottom and sides of four 1/2-cup ramekins with softened butter. Coat the bottom and sides with sugar, tapping out excess. Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. Bring a large saucepan halfway filled with water to a simmer. Separate the eggs and set the egg whites aside.

Step 2
In a large heatproof bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest and flour until pale yellow and frothy — about five minutes. Place the bowl over the pot of simmering water and whisk the mixture constantly until very thick — about five minutes. Remove the bowl from the pot and whisk the mixture on medium speed until cooled — about five to seven minutes. Pour the batter into a medium bowl and set aside.

Step 3
Clean the mixer bowl and add the egg whites, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cream of tartar. Place the bowl over the pot of simmering water and stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm to the touch. Remove the bowl from the pot and whisk on low speed until frothy, gradually increasing speed to medium until the mixture becomes meringue-like and holds soft peaks — about five minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.

Step 4
Whisk 1/3 of the meringue mixture into the lemon batter. Slowly fold in the remaining meringue mixture until just combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins all the way to the top — smooth the tops with the back of the spoon. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until slightly golden and puffed.

Step 5
Meanwhile, make the berry sauce: In a blender, puree the thawed berries and lemon juice until smooth. Remove the souffles from the oven and dust with the powdered sugar. Serve immediately with the berry sauce on the side.

This Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake Recipe Is Really Unique

Smooth, velvety and rich – this triple chocolate mousse cake is the perfect way to end an indulgent Valentine's Day meal. Made up for three sumptuous mousse layers, this dessert not only tastes amazing, but also looks stunning.

Each layer is made in the exact same way, just using a different kind of chocolate. This recipe makes quite a lot of mousse – I'd say around 6 portions – but they freeze really well so you can just keep them frozen until your next chocolate craving hits.


Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

Ingredients:

Dark Chocolate Mousse
  • 1/2tsp gelatine
  • 1tbsp water
  • 60ml milk

Milk Chocolate Mousse

White Chocolate Mousse
  • 1/2tsp gelatine
  • 1tbsp water
  • 60ml milk
  • 70g finely chopped white chocolate
  • 140ml double cream
Recipe:

1. Pour 1tbsp of water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatine on top. Leave the gelatine for about 5 minutes – until it has soaked up the water.

2. Heat up the milk in a saucepan over a medium-high heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine mix to the saucepan. Stir really well until the gelatine is completely dissolved then pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Leave to sit for 2 minutes and whisk until the chocolate is melted.

3. Separately, whisk the cream until it forms soft peaks. Mix a small amount of cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it up, then gently fold the rest of the cream in. Pour into a cylindrical mould and place in the freezer.

4. Repeat the above steps with the white chocolate and pour on top of the dark chocolate in the mould and leave to set in the freezer. Do the same again for the milk chocolate and freeze until set. Remove the mousse from the freezer at least 2 hours before you’re ready to enjoy it.
