Frozen Blackberry Souffle Recipes

FROZEN SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water, and orange rind in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil 3 to 4 minutes then set aside to cool. Place the yolks in a bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low speed, slowly pouring the sugar syrup into the yolks while beating. Beat at high speed for 10 to 12 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the orange liqueur and beat 3 minutes on high speed. Fold in the whipped cream. Pour about 2-inches of the mixture into a 4 cup souffle mold or individual molds. Sprinkle with the remaining orange liqueur and crumbled lady fingers. Fill the mold to the top and refrigerate the remainder of the mixture. Place a waxed paper collar around the souffle dish and place in the freezer for 1 hour or until firm. When firm, add the remaining cream to the mold and freeze until frozen. Just before serving, sprinkle the top with the cocoa. Remove the collar and serve immediately. Garnish with seasonal fresh berries.

FROZEN BLACKBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Prepare a 1 quart souffle dish by creating a collar to go around the rim to support the souffle while it freezes; cut a sheet of waxed paper long enough to go around the dish's rim, then fold in thirds, lengthwise (about a 4 inch wide ribbon).
• It should extend about 3 inches above the rim; secure with a rubber band or tape (or you could prepare 8 ramekins with the collar 1 1/2 inches above each one).
• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, cook the blackberries and 1/3 cup sugar until they soften and burst, about 10 minutes; puree in a food processor, then strain the seeds out (you should have about 2 cups of puree).
• Stir in the liquer and chill.
• In a small saucepan, heat remaining 2/3 cup sugar and water, over medium heat, to the soft-ball stage, 235 - 240 degrees, about 15 minutes.
• Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring, but use a small brush, moistened with water, to wash down any crystal that may form on the sides of the pan.
• Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a stand mixer, using the whisk attachment, until stiff peaks form; while running pour the sugar mixture, in a slow steady stream, into the egg whites taking care not to hit the whisk attachment and splatter.
• The egg whites will swell, then subside; continue beating until the egg whites cool to room temperature, about 8 minutes.
• In a large bowl, beat the whipping cream, until soft peaks form, using a whisk or hand mixer.
• Stir 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the blackberry puree, then pour the blackberry mixture into the remaining egg whites and gently fold until well combined.
• Gently fold the whipping cream into the egg whites, then spoon the mixture into the prepared souffle dish or the ramekins; it should come about 1/2 up the waxed paper collar.
• Smooth the top and freeze until very firm, 4 hours to overnight; if frozen overnight, it will need and hour in the refrigerator before serving.
• If freezing for more than a day, press plastic wrap onto the surface once it is frozen to store.
• To serve, remove the collar and cut into thin slices.

MERRY BERRY FROZEN SOUFFLé

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat egg whites and salt with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form; set aside. In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/3 cup water and 3/4 cup sugar to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved. Cook over medium heat to 245°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball.
• Slowly beat sugar mixture into egg whites on low speed. Beat on medium speed about 8 minutes or until mixture cools to room temperature.
• Fold cranberry sauce and whipped topping into egg white mixture. Spoon into 6 individual soufflé dishes, about 1 1/4 cups each; smooth tops. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup of the sugar to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved. Cook over medium-high heat to 234°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water. Remove from heat; stir in cranberries. Let stand about 2 minutes or until cranberries are softened. Remove cranberries with slotted spoon to cookie sheet. Place remaining 1/4 cup sugar on plate; roll cranberries in sugar to coat. (Cranberries can be prepared up to 6 hours before using; keep refrigerated.)
• Let soufflé stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with candied cranberries and mint leaves.
