Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Butter to grease ramekins
  • 24 ounces Fresh Strawberries divided
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 11 tablespoons Sugar divided, plus more to dust ramekins
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 4 Egg Whites
  • 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier optional

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying Pan
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Butter six 8-ounce ramekins and dust with sugar. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 400º. Set ramekins on a baking sheet.
  3. Coarsely puree half the berries with 6 tablespoons of sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch. Pour into a small saucepan and cook on medium till puree boils and thickens. Cool completely.
  4. Slice the remaining berries and add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of Grand Marnier. Mix and taste for sweetness. Add more sugar if needed. Set aside.
  5. Beat egg whites till foamy.
  6. Slowly add in the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and whip till stiff peaks form.
  7. Slowly fold puree into egg whites, one-third at a time.
  8. Divide between the six ramekins and smooth tops with an offset spatula. Run a finger around the perimeter of each soufflé to make a slight indentation in the soufflé.
  9. Slide the tray of ramekins into the oven and bake for 14-17 minutes or till soufflés are puffed and golden.
  10. Serve immediately with sliced berries.

Notes

  • Storage: Soufflés are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator. They may lose some of their puffiness, but the flavor will still be delicious.
  • Freezing: It's not recommended to freeze soufflés as they can change texture when thawed. It's best to enjoy them fresh!
  • Pairing: These soufflés pair beautifully with a light fruit salad or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
  • Serving suggestions: Consider garnishing with mint leaves or a dusting of powdered sugar for a more elegant presentation.
  • Serving temperature: Serve your soufflés warm for the best experience, as the contrast of warm soufflé and fresh cold strawberries is heavenly.
