Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more for ramekins
3 large egg whites, room temperature, plus 3 large egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
5 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70 percent cacao), melted
2/3 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
Garnish: confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush four 7-ounce ramekins generously with the butter; coat with granulated sugar. Whisk whites with a mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add cream of tartar; whisk until soft peaks form. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar; whisk until medium peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  • Set chocolate in a bowl. Whisk milk into cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk into chocolate (mixture will separate). Whisk in yolks and creme fraiche. Gently fold in egg whites.
  • Fill ramekins evenly with batter. Bake on a baking sheet, rotating halfway through, until souffles rise but centers are still liquid, about 14 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

MINI RICOTTA & SPINACH SOUFFLES



MINI RICOTTA & SPINACH SOUFFLES image

Categories     Egg

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs. fresh spinach (not baby spinach)
1 small onion, diced
olive oil
5 lg. eggs
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 lb. Ricotta cheese
1 tsp. salt
Fresh ground pepper
roasted diced red pepper for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook the diced onion with the fresh spinach in olive oil until spinach is wilted. About 2 minutes. Set aside. Beat the eggs w/ both cheeses, salt and pepper. When spinach mixture has cooled add it to the egg mixture. If you are making a large souffle, then place in a greased square baking dish with 4" sides. If you are making appetizer size souffles, then butter a dish with lower sides (I used a rectangle Pyrex baking casserole, 8x10), and pour batter in the dish. Bake at 350F for about 35 minutes until puffed. You can serve the dish hot, however, if you are making mini appetizers, then place the baking dish in the fridge for 4 hours (or overnight) until the souffle has completely cooled and firmed up. Now you are ready to use your biscuit cutter to cut out shapes. I used a 2" fluted edge cutter and easily cut out the rounds. (eat the leftover scraps as you go!). Garnish each souffle with a roasted red pepper piece and serve.

Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start cooking. This will help ensure that the soufflés rise evenly.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. If you do, they will become too stiff and the soufflés will not rise properly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the soufflés. They should be cooked until they are just set in the center. If you overcook them, they will collapse.
  • Serve the soufflés immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Mini soufflés are a delicious and elegant appetizer or dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make, but they do require some careful attention to detail. With a little practice, you can master the art of making perfect mini soufflés that will impress your guests.
