Preparation time 20 min
Cooking time 10 min
Ingredients
Souffle base
1 litre raspberry puree
350g sugar
150g cornflour
Souffle
4 tablespoons souffle
4 egg whites
4 tablespoons caster sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
Extra sugar for lining the ramekins
Icing sugar
Method
Mix cornflour with water to make a thick slurry. Set aside
In a large pot, bring raspberry puree to boil
Add a little water to sugar, bring to the boil until it forms a light caramel
Whisk enough cornflour slurry into boiling puree to thicken to a jam-like consistency and as soon as caramel is ready, whisk it into the raspberry a little at a time until it deepens in colour and is glossy
Turn off heat and set aside
This will be enough to make quite a lot, but can last for a few weeks refrigerated
To make the souffle set the oven to 200*c, then butter and sugar 4 souffle ramekins
Whisk 4 egg whites until firm, then add 4 tablespoons of sugar and continue to whisk until glossy
In another bowl, whisk 4 tablespoons of the base to loosen it
Fold in a little of the meringue to make it more receptive then gently fold in the rest and spoon into the ramekins
Bake for 10 minutes, remove and dust with icing sugar and serve immediately
