Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon softened unsalted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus additional for dusting
3 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons dark rum
5 large egg whites
Pinch fine salt
Cocoa powder for dusting, optional

Steps:

  • Lightly butter the insides of 4 (1-cup) ramekins, then dust with sugar. Space them evenly on a baking sheet and put in the freezer.
  • Put the bananas, brown sugar, lemon juice, and rum in a medium saucepan. Cook uncovered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bananas begin to soften, about 7 minutes. Mash the bananas with a potato masher or large fork until mostly smooth; continue cooking to make a thick puree, about 8 more minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • Whip the egg whites and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until foamy. Increase the speed to high, gradually pour in the 2 tablespoons sugar, and whip until the whites hold soft peaks. Fold a quarter of the whites into the banana mixture and then fold in the remaining whites. (Don't dally here; timing is everything with souffles. Whip, fold, and get the souffle in the oven without missing a beat.)
  • Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins. Bake the souffles until well puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Dust with a light sprinkling of cocoa powder, if desired. Serve immediately.
