Raspberry Souffle
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus more for greasing
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar plus more for dusting mold
- 1 pint pureed raspberries
- 4 eggs, separated
- Pinch cream of tartar
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 4 (8-ounce) ramekins or a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish by greasing with softened butter and coating with granulated sugar, pour out any excess.
- The butter and sugar will keep the souffles from sticking to the sides and will allow them to rise evenly.
- The sugar will also give the souffle a crunchy crust, which is a great contrast to the soft interior.
- To make the fruit puree base, heat the raspberry puree, 3/4 cup sugar and butter in a saucepan and place over medium heat.
- Cook for 10 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly, then strain to remove the raspberry seeds.
- Whisk in the egg yolks 1 at a time.
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar just until they hold soft peaks.
- Fold 1/3 of the beaten whites into the raspberry mixture to lighten it.
- Then gently fold in the rest.
- Spoon into the prepared ramekins or souffle dish and place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake on the middle rack for about 20 minutes.
- The souffle is done when it has puffed over the rim, the outside is golden and the center giggles slightly.
- Take care not to over bake.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
