Best Chilled Ginger Soufflé Recipes

TRIPLE GINGER SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Butter the souffle dish. Grease the bottom and sides of the dish with butter and then coat with 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
• In a medium heavy saucepan melt 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat until foamy. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, cream and ground ginger. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the milk mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the crystalized and fresh ginger.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until the mixture forms stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Using a large spatula, fold the egg white mixture into the milk mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, without opening the door, until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the souffle with edible gold dust and serve immediately.

CHILLED GINGER SOUFFLé

Steps:

• 1. Soak gelatin in lemon juice for about 5 minutes.
• 2. Chill a 2-quart soufflé dish or dessert bowl.
• 3. In the top of a double boiler, combine the milk, egg yolks, sugar, and salt (if desired); with a rotary beater, blend them until mixed thoroughly. Over boiling water, cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats a metal spoon. Remove the utensil from the heat.
• 4. Add the gelatin, ginger marmalade, and vanilla, stirring to blend the mixture well. Transfer it to a mixing bowl and chill it until it just begins to set (perhaps an hour--watch closely. If you wait too long, it will coagulate into lumps and be ruined).
• 5. With a rotary beater, briefly whip the mixture to assure its smoothness. Fold in the whipped cream. Beat in one-fifth of the egg white; fold in the remainder. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the mixture to a prepared dish and chill it for at least 6 hours, or until it is thoroughly set.
• Note: this does have raw egg whites in it, so be careful about serving it while still chilled. You don't want to leave it out on a hot summer's day or you could run the risk of food-borne illness.

CHILLED LEMON SOUFFLé

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water.
• Stir over low heat until dissolved.
• In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites with ½ cup sugar until think and pale in color. Beat in lemon juice, rind and dissolved gelatin.
• Return mixture to saucepan and cook, stirring constantly over medium low heat until slightly thickened. Do not boil.
• Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.
• Chill until cool and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Beat egg whites to soft peaks; gradually add ¼ cup sugar, beating constantly to stiff peaks.
• Fold into lemon mixture.
• Whip cream and fold in gently.
• Pour into serving dishes and chill until set.
• Garnish with whipped cream, thin lemon slices or shredded lemon rind.

GINGER-PUMPKIN SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 8 6-ounce ramekins. In medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, bring soy milk to boil. Add ginger, remove pan from heat, cover, and let steep 30 minutes. Strain soy milk, discarding ginger, and set aside.
• In large nonreactive bowl, whisk together egg yolks and 6 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk in flour until well combined. Gradually add hot milk, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Return yolk mixture to saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until custard boils and thickens enough to coat back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to large bowl, whisk in pumpkin purée, and set aside.
• Using electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg whites until foamy and slightly opaque. With mixer running, add remaining 6 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, then beat until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/3 of egg whites into pumpkin mixture to lighten, then add mixture to remaining whites, folding in gently but thoroughly. Spoon batter into ramekins, filling almost to top, and lightly run finger around inside rim to create a "moat." Place ramekins in large baking pan. Place baking pan on middle oven rack and add hot water around ramekins to depth of 1 inch. Bake until soufflés have risen well above rim and tops are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
