Neiman Marcus' Mandarin Orange Souffle
- 1 1/4 cups orange juice (preferably from concentrate, thawed and diluted)
- 1 (1 tablespoon) envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup canned mandarin orange section (4-ounce can)
- Pour 1/4 cup of the orange juice into a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over, and stir to dissolve.
- Seat aside to let the gelatin soften.
- Prepare and ice bath in a large bowl.
- Pour the remaining orange juice into a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir in the sugar and egg yolks.
- Over medium heat, gradually bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to steam and is slightly thickened. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
- Add the softened gelatin mixture (which will have a rubbery texture) and the lemon juice.
- Stir until incorporated and then transfer the "custard" to a clean mixing bowl; sit the bowl in the ice bath to cool.
- While the custard is cooking, stir it occasionally.
- Using a wire whisk or an electric whisk, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- With a spatula, gently fold some of the whipped cream into the cooled custard mixture to "loosen" it, then add the rest of the cream mixture and fold in until fully incorporated.
- Place three or four of the mandarin orange sections in the bottom of six individual 5-ounce fluted plastic dessert molds and then fill the molds with the orange souffle mixture.
- Place the molds on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, and preferably overnight, until firm.
- Carefully unmold.
