Frozen Cherry And Chocolate Chip Soufflé Recipes

FROZEN CHERRY AND CHOCOLATE CHIP SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Combine cherries, 2/3 cup sugar and 6 teaspoons lemon juice in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium; simmer until cherries are soft, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Transfer mixture to blender; add 2 teaspoons kirsch, vanilla and almond extracts and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice.
• Puree until very smooth. Chill until cold. Cut one 30x11-inch foil strip. Fold foil strip in half lengthwise. Wrap tightly around 6-cup soufflé dish, forming collar that extends from base of dish to above rim. Secure ends of foil with paper clips.
• Whisk egg yolks, cherry juice, 2/3 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons kirsch in large metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Whisk constantly until mixture thickens and thermometer inserted into mixture registers 140°F for 3 minutes, about 8 minutes total. Remove bowl from over water. Set bowl in another large bowl filled with ice and water; whisk constantly until mixture is cool, about 5 minutes.
• Beat cream in medium bowl until peaks form. Fold cherry puree into yolk mixture, then fold in whipped cream and chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to soufflé dish (mixture will extend above rim of dish). Freeze overnight. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover; keep frozen.)
• Run small knife between soufflé and foil. Peel off foil. Using small metal spatula or knife, smooth exposed sides of soufflé. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE-CHIP SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Butter the inside of four one-and-one-half-cup individual souffle dishes with the melted butter. Sprinkle the inside of the dishes with a total of one tablespoon of sugar, shaking out excess. Chill.
• Bring the milk gently to a simmer and remove from the heat.
• Put the chocolate in a small, heavy saucepan. Set the pan in a slightly larger basin of boiling water and let stand until chocolate is melted.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, one-quarter cup of the sugar and the cornstarch. Beat thoroughly. Add a little of the hot milk to the yolk mixture and beat. Combine the yolk mixture with the remaining hot milk, beating constantly. Cook over gentle heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is quite thick.
• Scrape the melted chocolate into the custard and beat well to blend. Pour and scrape this into a mixing bowl.
• Beat the whites until thickened and add a little of the remaining sugar. Continue beating, gradually adding all of the remaining sugar until the whites stand in stiff peaks.
• Add about one-third of the whites to the chocolate mixture. Beat briskly until well blended. Add the remaining whites and the chocolate chips, and fold them in gently but rapidly with a spatula.
• Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into the four prepared dishes. Smooth over the tops of each souffle. Run the thumb all around the inside rim of each dish, at a depth of about one-half inch, to briefly separate the souffle mixture from the dish.
• Arrange the dishes on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.

Stir about one-fourth of the whites into the chocolate mixture and then carefully fold in the remaining whites until uniform.
