Individual Peach Soufflés Recipes

GEORGIA PEACH SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Generously butter six 8-ounce ramekins. Set aside on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse the peaches until coarsely chopped. (The pieces should be no large than1/4 inch in size.) Remove 3/4 cup of the chopped peaches and place 2 tablespoons of them in each of the prepared ramekins. Set aside.
• Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the remaining chopped peaches in the bowl of the food processor. Process until very smooth and pureed. Transfer 1 cup of the peach puree to a bowl, discarding any remainder or reserve for another use, such as an ice cream topping or base for a smoothie. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the egg whites with a pinch of the salt on medium speed until foamy. Add about 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar and beat on high speed until the whites hold soft peaks, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining granulated sugar and beat on high speed until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted.
• Add about a quarter of the beaten egg whites to the peach puree mixture and stir until well mixed. Pour this mixture over the remaining egg whites and fold them together as lightly as possible.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared souffles ramekins (the mixture should come up to the top of each). Smooth the top with a metal spatula. Run your thumb around the inside of the rim of each dish, making a shallow channel around the edge of the batter. (This will help the souffles rise up straight and tall.) Set the filled souffles ramekins on the rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake until puffed, golden, and gently set in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately.

INDIVIDUAL PEACH SOUFFLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400F Brush 8 individual 1 cup ramekins with soft butter, making sure to get all the folds and rim. Dust each dish with sugar, remove excess and chill the dishes until the soufflé mixture is ready. In the bowl of the food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse the peaches until coarsely chopped. The pieces should be no larger than 1/4 inch. Remove 3/4 cup and place 2 tablespoons each of the chopped peaches in the prepared ramekins. Set aside. Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the remaining peaches. Process until very smooth and pureed. Transfer 1 cup to a medium bowl, discarding any remainder. Set aside. in the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Add about 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until the whites hold a stiff peak, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining sugar and beat until the whites are glossy and hold a long peak when the spoon is lifted. About 1 minute. Add about a quarter of the beaten egg whites to the peach puree mixture and stir until well mixed. Pour this mixture over the remaining whites and fold them together as lightly as possible. Spoon the mixture into the prepared soufflé ramekins. The mixture should come up to the top of the ramekin. Smooth the top with a metal spatula and then run your thumb around the inside rim of each dish, making a shallow "moat" around the edge of the batter. this will help the souffles to rise straight up. Or if you wish a more rustic soufflé, don't scrape the top and pull the mixture in the ramekins up into little peaks. Transfer the filled soufflé ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet to the oven. Bake until puffed, golden and gently set in the center,8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Freezing eggs: You can freeze egg yolks. If you are likely to use them within three days of cracking open the shell, you can safely eep them covered in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can keep them in the freezer for up to 4 months. Eggs become gelatinous when frozen. So gelatinous that they can be hard to use. Mix 1/8 tsp of salt or 1 1/2 tsp of sugar or corn syrup for every four yolks you freeze to inhibit their becoming gelatinous. If you try this, make sure you label the container clearly so that four months from now you know whether you are supposed to be making custard or Hollandaise.

INDIVIDUAL CHOCOLATE SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Set an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Brush six 6-ounce ramekins with softened butter, then coat with granulated sugar. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Put the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl. Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a low simmer; set the bowl over--but not touching--the water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Set aside.
• Combine the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer) and beat until frothy. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and continue beating until very thick ribbons form, about 5 minutes. Very lightly fold the yolk mixture into the chocolate mixture.
• Put the egg whites in a clean bowl of a standing mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer) and add the cream of tartar. Beat on medium speed until frothy; increase the speed to high and gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Beat until the whites hold a stiff but not dry peak, about 3 minutes.
• Working quickly, fold about a third of the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture to lighten; then fold in the remaining whites until blended. Gently spoon the souffle mixture into the prepared ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Lightly smooth the tops of the souffles.
• Immediately bake until the souffles rise about 1 1/2 inches from the ramekins, about 18 minutes. In the meantime, make the Triple Raspberry Sauce.
• Remove the souffles from the oven, pour some of the sauce over the center of each, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
• In a small saucepan, add the raspberries, sorbet, raspberry jam and lemon zest and set over medium heat. Stir, breaking up the raspberries while it comes to a simmer, then cook until the foam subsides and the mixture becomes thick and syrupy, about 7 minutes.
