BITTERSWEET COCOA SOUFFLé WITH ORANGE BLOSSOM CREAM

Steps:

• Butter eight 2/3-to 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups; dust with sugar, completely coating to top edge. Whisk 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and 1/8 teaspoon (scant) salt in small saucepan. Pour 2/3 cup milk into measuring cup; whisk enough milk from cup into saucepan to form thick paste (2 to 3 tablespoons), then gradually whisk in remaining milk from cup. Stir over medium- low heat until bubbles begin to form around edges of pan. Continue cooking until slightly thickened, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Add cocoa powder, remaining 2 tablespoons milk, egg yolks, and vanilla; stir until smooth, thick paste forms. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, beating on high speed until firm peaks form.

Using spoon, form small indentation in top of each soufflé; spoon dollop of Orange Blossom Cream into indentations. Serve immediately.

ORANGE BLOSSOM ICE CREAM RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Prepare a 1.5 quart ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar; set aside. Add the heavy cream, milk, and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan. Set the saucepan over medium heat. Once simmering, remove from heat, and in a steady stream, whisk in about 1/4 cup of the hot liquid into the yolk mixture. Keep gradually whisking in the hot liquid until all of it has been added. Pour everything back into the saucepan and set over medium low heat. While stirring occasionally, cook the custard until it becomes thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, or until it reaches 170 °F. Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve and into another large bowl. Mix in the orange blossom water and vanilla extract and gently set the bowl in an ice bath until cool. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until the mixture becomes cold. Once the custard base has properly chilled, pour the custard into the ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Once the ice cream has thickened properly, enjoy right away, or pour the ice cream into an airtight container and place in the freezer until firm, about 4-5 hours.
