Frozen Blackberry Souffle Recipes

GRAND MARNIER FROZEN SOUFFLES

Steps:

• In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over simmering water whisk egg yolks and sugar until blended. Stir in liqueur, water, orange juice and zest. Cook over low heat until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly but gently. Do not allow to boil. Immediately transfer to a bowl., Place bowl in an ice-water bath for a few minutes, stirring custard occasionally. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into cooled custard mixture., Transfer to eight 4-oz. ramekins; smooth tops. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with additional orange zest.

FROZEN GRAND MARNIER SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Combine the eggs and granulated sugar in the top of a stainless steel double boiler and, being careful not to scramble the eggs, whisk over gentle heat until the mixture is golden in color and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon in ribbons. Remove from the heat and set the mixture aside to cool.
• While the egg mixture is cooling, prepare four 1/2 cup souffle dishes by cutting waxed paper long enough to encircle each souffle dish twice, and stand 3 to 4 inches above its top. Wrap the waxed paper snugly around the outside of the dish and seal the edges with transparent tape. Butter the inside of the dish with softened butter, then sprinkle with granulated sugar, tapping out any excess sugar onto a plate.
• Using an electric mixer, combine 1 cup of the heavy cream, confectioners sugar, and Grand Marnier, orange zest and whip into firm peaks. With a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the buttered souffle dishes, filling them above the rim and into the area enclosed by the waxed paper.
• Place the souffles into the freezer, for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. When ready to serve, whip the remaining cream until soft peaks form, remove from the frozen souffle from the freezer, and carefully remove the waxed paper collar. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and several orange segments.

FROZEN SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water, and orange rind in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil 3 to 4 minutes then set aside to cool. Place the yolks in a bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low speed, slowly pouring the sugar syrup into the yolks while beating. Beat at high speed for 10 to 12 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the orange liqueur and beat 3 minutes on high speed. Fold in the whipped cream. Pour about 2-inches of the mixture into a 4 cup souffle mold or individual molds. Sprinkle with the remaining orange liqueur and crumbled lady fingers. Fill the mold to the top and refrigerate the remainder of the mixture. Place a waxed paper collar around the souffle dish and place in the freezer for 1 hour or until firm. When firm, add the remaining cream to the mold and freeze until frozen. Just before serving, sprinkle the top with the cocoa. Remove the collar and serve immediately. Garnish with seasonal fresh berries.

FROZEN BLACKBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Prepare a 1 quart souffle dish by creating a collar to go around the rim to support the souffle while it freezes; cut a sheet of waxed paper long enough to go around the dish's rim, then fold in thirds, lengthwise (about a 4 inch wide ribbon).
• It should extend about 3 inches above the rim; secure with a rubber band or tape (or you could prepare 8 ramekins with the collar 1 1/2 inches above each one).
• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, cook the blackberries and 1/3 cup sugar until they soften and burst, about 10 minutes; puree in a food processor, then strain the seeds out (you should have about 2 cups of puree).
• Stir in the liquer and chill.
• In a small saucepan, heat remaining 2/3 cup sugar and water, over medium heat, to the soft-ball stage, 235 - 240 degrees, about 15 minutes.
• Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring, but use a small brush, moistened with water, to wash down any crystal that may form on the sides of the pan.
• Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a stand mixer, using the whisk attachment, until stiff peaks form; while running pour the sugar mixture, in a slow steady stream, into the egg whites taking care not to hit the whisk attachment and splatter.
• The egg whites will swell, then subside; continue beating until the egg whites cool to room temperature, about 8 minutes.
• In a large bowl, beat the whipping cream, until soft peaks form, using a whisk or hand mixer.
• Stir 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the blackberry puree, then pour the blackberry mixture into the remaining egg whites and gently fold until well combined.
• Gently fold the whipping cream into the egg whites, then spoon the mixture into the prepared souffle dish or the ramekins; it should come about 1/2 up the waxed paper collar.
• Smooth the top and freeze until very firm, 4 hours to overnight; if frozen overnight, it will need and hour in the refrigerator before serving.
• If freezing for more than a day, press plastic wrap onto the surface once it is frozen to store.
• To serve, remove the collar and cut into thin slices.

FROZEN LEMON SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Wrap outside of a 3 1/2-cup souffle mold or four 6-ounce ramekins with parchment, extending 2 to 3 inches above rim (it should fit snugly). Secure with tape; set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, lemon zest and juice, egg yolks, and salt over medium-high. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and small bubbles form around edge of pan, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Immediately remove from heat while continuing to whisk. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl, pressing on lemon curd with a rubber spatula.
• Place plastic wrap directly against surface of curd and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on high until stiff peaks form, 2 minutes. Gently fold egg whites into cooled lemon curd. In the same large bowl, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into lemon curd mixture. Pour into mold and freeze until firm, 6 hours (or up to overnight). To serve, remove parchment, top with raspberries and dust with confectioners' sugar.
