Time 35m

Yield 10 souffles, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups whole milk
7 1/2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
5 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup Chambord raspberry liquor
1 3/4 cups fresh wild huckleberries
powdered sugar, for dusting
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup whole milk
4 large egg yolks
5 tablespoons sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter ten 3/4-cup ramekins; dust with sugar. Bring milk, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and salt to boil in small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar; remove from heat.
  • Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan. Add flour; stir 1 minute. Whisk in milk mixture. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, whisking until smooth. Whisk in egg yolks and Chambord. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Using electric mixer with clean dry beaters, beat egg whites in another large bowl until foamy. Gradually add remaining 5 tablespoons sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites and 1 cup berries into milk mixture. Divide remaining 3/4 cup berries among ramekins. Spoon souffle batter over, dividing evenly. Place ramekins in a large roasting pan. Add enough water to pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake souffles until puffed and gently set in centers, about 20 minutes. Sift powdered sugar over and serve with Vanilla Cream Sauce.
  • To make the Vanilla Cream Sauce: Whisk cream, milk, yolks, and sugar to blend in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir over medium heat until custard is thick enoght to coat spoon and an instant read thermometer reads 175-180 degrees, about 8 minutes (do not boil). Pour into medium bowl, cover and chill. Can be made one day ahead. Keep chilled. Remove bean before serving.
