Cold Raspberry Souffle
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp rose water
- 1 tbsp powdered gelatin
- 12 oz (350g) fresh raspberries
- 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 large egg whites
- Mint leaves, for garnish
- Six 6 oz (175g) ramekins
- Make a double-thick strip of wax paper large enough to tape around the outside of six 6oz (175g) ramekins, and wide enough to stand 2in (5cm) above the rim.
- Lightly brush the exposed inside of the wax paper with vegetable oil.
- Place the rose water in a small bowl, sprinkle with the gelatin, and let stand for about 2 minutes, or until spongy.
- Place the bowl in a larger bowl of boiling water and stir until the gelatin dissolves.
- Remove from water and let cool slightly.
- Reserve 12 raspberries.
- Puree the remaining raspberries in a food processor.
- Rub through a very fine sieve over a bowl to discard the seeds.
- Stir in the confectioner's sugar and lemon juice, then gradually stir in the gelatin.
- Refrigerate until just beginning to set.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- Fold the cream into the raspberry mixture.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, and gently fold into the raspberry mixture.
- Pour into the ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set.
- Carefully peel off the wax paper from around the ramekins.
- Decorate each souffle with raspberries and a few mint leaves.
- Variation
- Blackberry Souffle
- Use fresh blackberries in place of the raspberries, taking extra care to remove all of the seeds from the puree before adding to the whipped cream.
