Creamy Frozen Blackberry Souffle
- 24 ounces blackberries frozen or fresh
- 1 cup sugar divided
- 13 cup liqueur blackberry or raspberry
- 4 tablespoons water
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- Cut sheet of waxed paper that is long enough to fit around 1-quart souffle dish and fold it in lengthwise thirds to make ribbon about 4 inches wide.
- Wrap this around top of dish to make collar and tape ends together.
- Collar should extend about 3 inches above rim of souffle dish.
- Secure in place with rubber band or tape and place dish into freezer.
- Or prepare 8 ( 1 1/2-cup) ramekins in same way, ensuring collars extend about 1 1/2 inches over rim of ramekins.
- In large saucepan, cook blackberries and 13 cup sugar over medium heat until berries soften and collapse, 9 to 11 minutes.
- Puree blackberries in mixer, then strain seeds, or you can use food mill.
- Stir in blackberry or raspberry liqueur and refrigerate.
- Heat remaining 23 cup sugar and water in small saucepan over medium heat to temperature of 235 to 240 degrees, soft-ball stage, 14 to 16 minutes.
- Stir mixture until sugar dissolves.
- Meanwhile beat egg whites in electric mixer to stiff peaks.
- With mixer running, pour sugar mixture into egg whites down side of bowl in slow, steady stream (avoid sugar hitting whisk, otherwise it will spray over bowl).
- When hot sugar syrup first touches whites, they will swell tremendously.
- Keep beating until whites cool to room temperature, 6 to 10 minutes.
- In large bowl, beat whipping cream to soft peaks with whisk or hand mixer.
- Fold about 13 egg white mixture into blackberry puree.
- Then pour blackberry mixture over remaining egg whites and gently fold until well incorporated.
- The cooked egg whites are more stable than uncooked, but you still need to be careful not to deflate them too much.
- Gently fold whipping cream into egg white mixture and spoon mixture into prepared souffle dish or ramekins.
- It should come at least halfway up paper collar.
- Smooth top and freeze until very firm, at least 5 hours.
- If you freeze it overnight or longer, place it to refrigerator for at least 1 hour to soften before serving.
- If you make it more than 1 day in advance, once mixture is frozen solid, cover it with plastic wrap and gently press wrap against surface of souffle.
- Just before serving, carefully remove collar.
- Serve individual souffle, or cut large one into pieces.
- Enjoy!
