Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
3/4 cup tangerine juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
4 egg yolks
1 tablespoon grated tangerine peel
Egg white powder plus water to equal 4 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream
6 prickly pears, peeled, cut into about 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon grated tangerine peel, if desired

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, mix 3/4 cup sugar, the water, tangerine juice, salt and gelatin. In small bowl, beat egg yolks slightly; stir into gelatin mixture. Heat just to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon tangerine peel. Refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. (If mixture becomes too thick, place pan in bowl of hot water; stir constantly until mixture is proper consistency.)
  • Make 4-inch band of triple-thickness foil 2 inches longer than the circumference of 6-cup soufflé dish. Extend dish by securing band around outside edge.
  • In large bowl, beat egg white powder and water with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not underbeat. Fold gelatin mixture into egg whites.
  • In chilled large bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Fold whipped cream into egg white mixture. Carefully turn into soufflé dish. Refrigerate about 8 hours or until set.
  • In food processor or blender, place prickly pears. Cover and process until smooth. Press through sieve to remove seeds. In 1-quart saucepan, mix pears, honey and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in 1 teaspoon tangerine peel; cool.
  • Just before serving, carefully remove foil band from soufflé. Serve soufflé with sauce. Store in refrigerator.
