GEORGIA PEACH SOUFFLéS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. 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 larger than 1/4 inch.) 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 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 each). Smooth the top with a metal spatula. Run your thumb around the inside rim of each dish, making a shallow channel around the edge of the batter. (This will help the soufflés rise up straight and tall.) Set the filled soufflé 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.

PERFECT INDIVIDUAL PEACH COBBLERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place 1 cup peaches into 8 individual ramekins. Mix 1/2 cup water and white sugar together in a bowl; stir until sugar is dissolved. Evenly divide sugar mixture over peaches. Sprinkle peaches with cinnamon and nutmeg. Dot about 3/4 teaspoon butter onto each serving of peaches.
• Unroll and separate crescent roll dough; completely cover peaches in each ramekin with 1 piece of dough. Cut small slits into each roll for ventilation during baking. Lightly brush each roll with water and sprinkle each with about 1/8 teaspoon brown sugar. Arrange ramekins onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cobblers are browned, 11 to 13 minutes. Allow cobblers to cool for 20 minutes before serving.

FROZEN PEACH SOUFFLE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Use a food mill to process raspberries and remove seeds; discard seeds.
• Alternatively, you can puree raspberries in a food processor, then strain to remove seeds; makes about 1 cup raspberry puree.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together raspberry puree and sugar, until sugar is dissolved; stir in lemon juice and chill (makes about 1/2 cup syrup and can be stored up to 3 days in the refrigerator).
• Cut a sheet of waxed paper to wrap around a one quart souffle dish; fold in thirds, lengthwise, so it is about 4 inches wide; wrap around the souffle dish and tape ends together, like a collar, so it extends the "height" of the dish by 3 inches; chill dish in freezer.
• Alternatively, use the same method to increase the "height" of 8 individual ramekins by 1 1/2 inches.
• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, cook peaches, 1/3 cup sugar and the lemon juice, stirring frequently, until peaches are soft and break down to an applesauce consistency, about 15 minutes.
• Puree the cooked peaches in a food mill or blender; you'll have about 2 cups.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, warm peach liqueur, stir in gelatin and cook, while stirring, until the gelatin melts; stir the gelatin mixture and the almond extract into the peach puree; chill until cold.
• Bring a pot of water to a simmer; beat egg yolks with remaining 2/3 cups sugar in a mixing bowl.
• Place mixing bowl over the simmering water, being sure the bowl does not touch the water; whisk egg yolks until they are pale yellow and have doubled in volume, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat, whisk in the peach mixture and whisk until it cools down.
• Beat egg whites to stiff peaks; in a separate bowl, beat whipping cream to soft peaks.
• Stir half the egg whites into the peach mixture; add remaining egg whites to the whipped cream, then pour the peach mixture on top.
• Gently fold them all together.
• Gently spoon mixture into the souffle dish or the prepared ramekins; it should come at least halfway up the paper collar.
• Smooth out the top and scatter with the toasted almonds.
• Freeze until very firm, at least 4 hours; it can be frozen overnight, but transfer to the refrigerator for an hour to soften before serving.
• If you do make it more than 1 day in advance, press plastic wrap to surface, once frozen.
• To serve, carefully remove collar, serve thin slices with a little raspberry sauce spooned over, and the rest passed.
• Alternatively, serve in individual ramekins, with a little raspberry sauce.

FROZEN PEACH AND AMARETTI SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Combine 3 pounds peaches, 1/2 cup sugar and brandy in heavy large saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until peaches are juicy and tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to processor and puree until smooth. Set aside 2 1/4 cups peach puree; cool (reserve any remaining puree for another use).
• Cut eight 14 x 6-inch foil strips. Fold each in half lengthwise. Wrap 1 foil strip tightly around each of eight 2/3-cup soufflé dishes, forming collars that extend from base of dish to above rim. Fold and crimp ends tightly to secure.
• Whisk yolks, corn syrup and remaining 1 cup sugar in large metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Using handheld electric mixer, beat constantly until thermometer inserted into mixture registers 160°F, about 7 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Continue to beat mixture until cool and thick, about 5 minutes.
• Beat cream and vanilla in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Add amaretto and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold peach puree into cream mixture in 3 additions. Gently fold in yolk mixture and 6 tablespoons crushed cookies. Divide mixture equally among prepared soufflé dishes (mixture will extend above rim of dishes). Sprinkle tops with remaining crushed cookies. Cover with plastic; freeze overnight and up to 3 days.
• Carefully remove foil from soufflés. Top soufflés with berries and peach slices, if desired, and serve immediately.

INDIVIDUAL PEACH COBBLERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat eight 6-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Toss the peaches with the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until juicy, about 10 minutes. Divide the peaches and juices among the ramekins.
• While the peaches sit, combine the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flax seed and salt. Cut in the butter, using a fork or pastry cutter, until the mixture forms medium-size crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk until well moistened and large clumps hold together.
• Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla yogurt or frozen yogurt if desired.

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.
